Arsenal fans react to surprising substitution from Freddie Ljungberg

Arsenal fans are confused after Freddie Ljungberg decided against subbing £72-million man Nicholas Pepe on, instead choosing youth prospect Bukayo Saka.

With the game at 2-2, the Gunners were chasing the game, but were unable to get the winner in Norfolk.

Some fans took to Twitter to voice their confusion with the decision not to send Pepe on, especially with Arsenal needing a goal.

Yes, Pepe’s career in North London has not started off that well, but surely he’s deserving of some minutes here.

The Gunners were chasing the game, and Pepe could have added some quality.

It might have made the difference, especially as Arsenal were unable to get the winner.
