Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has responded to the racial abuse he suffered during Arsenal's 4-2 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
After celebrating scoring the opening goal in front of Spurs supporters, a banana skin was thrown in front of the striker by the away section at the Emirates Stadium.
Responding on Instagram, the Arsenal striker posted the image of him in front of the skin with the hashtag 'Whysmandoingthis?'
The move comes following a Spurs investigation that has seen one supporter given an indefinite ban from attending games.
A Tottenham fan had been arrested for the incident.
Metropolitan Police were investigating on Sunday night whether the incident was racially aggravated; the original arrest made for the throwing the missile.
Yet images of Aubameyang celebrating in front of Tottenham fans with a banana skin at his feet was a throwback to the darker days of English football.
The Football Association are set to investigate the controversial flashpoint, this morning they will speak to representatives from both clubs, while images and CCTV footage are likely to prove crucial.
However, the FA’s jurisdiction resides over the clubs and not the individual in question.
Tottenham moved quickly to condemn the supporter by issuing a statement.
‘Behaviour such as this is completely unacceptable and the supporter in question will be issued with a ban,’ said a Tottenham spokesman.
In total, seven arrests were made by Metropolitan Police officers - two in connection with smoke bombs hurled into the Tottenham end by Arsenal fans. The remaining four were for public order offences.
It is understood the arrests for the banana skin and the smoke bombs were made after stewards identified the culprits. The CCTV footage was used to confirm their identities.

Whenever you see a racist man, just know they inherited it from their parents, and it's generational something, likewise it's going to be part of their children too, theirs parents thought them it, so what do you expect, you claimed to be educated and living in a civilized world, yet you're still living primitive, in soccer we say no to racism.

Auba, #Whysmandoingthis? I'll tell you why. Because getting a lifetime ban is BS!! And because they'll find a way around garbage like that. And because doing racist stuff like that to black people is never taken seriously by those who claim to be in authority!! The club they support issue a worthless statement claiming to condemn the act. The police, well need I say any more? How are Black people treated by them? We're targets to get them promotions, to take shit out on when they get they're arse kicked. Who are bigger racists than them? Oh!! The current Government!! Yep that's why they have each others back, even when clearly they can be seen breaking the #Law. So don't even sweat this ignoramus!! They talk as if racism isn't part of they're make-up, but destruction is all they know. When not destroying each other guess who they turn to? Just look after yourself, family, and your wider brothers and sisters, cousins etc. Truth is we are all one family, but too many are simply too dumb to recognise, the others too greedy to accept, because racism is rooted in economics, and whichever one they are, they amount to frightened little boys and girls. That's why!!
