Hector Bellerin has come in for plenty of praise from Arsenal fans after his brilliant comments on rivals Tottenham.
The right-back, who made his first Gunners appearance for eight months last week against Nottingham Forest, continued his quest to reach full fitness with the club’s Under-23 side on Saturday.
The Spaniard played the whole 90 minutes and set up Folarin Balogun as the Gunners came from two down to grab a point against Liverpool.
And Arsenal fan page @AFTVMedia quoted Bellerin’s recent comments on Tottenham, where he claimed he ‘hated’ Spurs due to his love for Arsenal.
These Arsenal fans were quick to react to Bellerin’s comments, with many calling for the defender to be given the armband as a result.

Read Arsenal verdict
It’s easy to see why the Gunners faithful have had so much love for Bellerin during his six-year stay.
He’s now amongst Unai Emery’s five captains, ranking third behind Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
He looks set to make a return to the side in the coming weeks, and if he can impress supporters half as much as he has with his comments off the pitch, he’ll have no trouble in establishing himself back in Emery’s side.
