Arsenal defender Ben White furiously slapped assistant referee Neil Davies' hand away after the Gunners' frustrating defeat to Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta's side were dealt a cruel blow as they slipped to a last-gasp defeat when Rodri netted in the third minute of stoppage time to secure a 2-1 win for City after some controversial decisions.
Arsenal led the champions 1-0 at half-time following Bukayo Saka's strike, but City were given the chance to equalise from the spot 10 minutes into the second half.
Following a VAR check, Granit Xhaka was penalised for a tug on Bernardo Silva in the box, while Gabriel was given his marching ordered for two yellow cards either side of Riyad Mahrez's equaliser from the spot.
Boos echoed around the Emirates stadium as Gunners fans were left aggrieved that a similar challenge on Martin Odegaard from Ederson earlier in the game had not undergone a review.
And centre-back White appeared to share their frustration as he shook hands with the officials after the whistle.
A video from the stands shows the 24-year-old frostily greeting assistant Simon Long and referee Stuart Attwell before swatting at Neil Davies' outstretched hand and storming off down the tunnel.
White's actions have split the fanbase with some supports praising the player's passion, while others expressed their disappointment in his lack of sportsmanship.
One said: 'I love that boy White. Just the mentality I need from a player.'
Another added: 'Future captain.'
But a third wrote: 'As much as I love to see this, it's also very wrong from him - imagine if it was Guendouzi.'
And a final user commented: 'Deserves a serious ban for this.'

Correct, White was frustrated by the bias decision the referee and the VAR official made. Especially the referee who was clearly biased against Arsenal for not giving the penalty and for not viewing the VAR for Arsenal but only Man City when it was Man City who had foul Arsenal.

It's the referee and VAR official's faults for being bias against Arsenal during the match. Knowing that Arsenal was leading in the first half, both corrupted referee and VAR official had decided to make sure Arsenal do not win. Pure corruption there. Clearly bought by Man City b4 the game started.

It can be a fault but if this worth a penalty, then Arsenal should have got one too in the first half and also if Gabriel's actions worthed 2 yellow cards, then Rodri should have been sent of too...

Don't mind them, they don't know such privileges are for Maguire. He can even carry a player to the linesman and get away with it

Xhaka was just an irresponsible player, for how many games will he be causing us the match. Sell, loan or bench all the useless old hands and allow the young ones to make all the mistakes they can make and learn,

Until there is recourse for referees, where they suffer from bad calls, then players can be as bitter as they like. I think about it like this and I could be wrong, but after a game, a player beats himself Up about losing and so on, missed the points, calls against you went wrong… the referees after a game think well that’s done, maybe missed a call or two but ow wel next week it is…. And after that game, White would have been a little bitter with the cross eyed refs, wouldn’t you? No he didn’t do anything wrong.

I kept watching my Tv screen after the match praying and hoping Mr Stuart Attwell would recall the teams from the dressing room for another penalty in vain. No handshake till then.
