Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate recently made a sassy remark about Arsenal fans on social media after his team's impressive 6-3 victory against Tottenham on Sunday. The match saw Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz scoring two goals each, along with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. This win puts Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table with 39 points and a game in hand over their title rivals, Chelsea and Arsenal, who have 35 and 33 points respectively.
Konate, who did not play in the match due to a knee injury, joined in on the post-match celebrations by taking a subtle jab at Arsenal supporters who had previously trolled him for his injury. One fan had wished for Konate's injury to be serious, to which a Liverpool fan responded with a photo of Bukayo Saka injured on the ground and the words "Karma is a b****". Konate seemed to enjoy this interaction and suggested that Liverpool fans have more class than Arsenal fans.
Speaking about the incident, Konate said, "We are not like them... [eyes emoji], we wish no harm. Anyway, in Sha Allah big 3 points today." It was clear that Konate was proud of his team's performance and was not going to let the negative comments from rival fans bring him down.
Meanwhile, Saka, who was spotted leaving the stadium on crutches after picking up a hamstring injury in Arsenal's 5-1 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, will be out of action for "many weeks" according to manager Mikel Arteta. Saka has been a key player for Arsenal this season, with 15 goal involvements in just 16 Premier League games. However, former player Les Ferdinand believes that this injury may have come at the right time for Saka.
Ferdinand stated, "If there was a perfect time to get injured, it would be now. If he was going to be out for any spell, it would be over this Christmas period." This break will allow Saka to rest and recover before the second half of the season begins, which could be beneficial for both him and Arsenal in the long run.
Overall, it seems that Liverpool fans are basking in the glory of their team's victory while also showing empathy towards their opponents, while Arsenal fans are dealing with the disappointment of losing an important player to injury. Konate's comments may have sparked a friendly rivalry between the two fan bases, but at the end of the day, it's all about supporting and respecting the players on the field.
