A number of Arsenal fans have reacted to Shkodran Mustafi’s involvement in Norwich’s opening goal on Sunday.
Teemu Pukki opened the scoring for the home side after a positive start from Arsenal, with his shot finding the back of the net via a deflection off Mustafi.
The defender turned his back after Pukki struck the shot, and these fans have criticised that decision, including one of Arsenal’s more vocal supporters.
Twitter: Mustafi and Luiz can’t defend. Imagine my shock. (@bhavss14)
Twitter: Mustafi needs to go o???? (@Ogbeni_Peter)
Twitter: Bizarre and terrible defending by Shkodran Mustafi. (@Flannyballs)
Twitter: Why, Freddie, WHY?

READ ARSENAL VERDICT
While Pukki was fortunate his shot deflected in off Mustafi, he would have had a much better chance of blocking the striker’s effort had he stood up to the attempt rather than turn his back.
Hardly the best way to cap his first start in the Premier League this season, and both he and Freddie Ljungberg will be hoping he can make amends in the second-half.
