Bellerin was trolled by Gary Neville for his foul throw during the game against Tottenham.
The commentator joked: “It was 1986 when I last saw a foul throw.”
And Arsenal fans on Twitter could not believe their eyes.
One said: “Fifth foul throw from Bellerin. Less catwalks and more throw-in practice needed.”
Another added: “Bellerin needs throw-in lessons.”
And one claimed: “This Bellerin throw-in business is becoming a f***ing joke.”
Bellerin struggled to impress as Arsenal dropped to 15th in the Premier League table.
Son Heung-min scored a screamer to break the deadlock before Harry Kane bagged the second – both assisting for each other.
The red-hot duo’s knack of setting each other up has now seen them combine for 31 Premier League goals, the second-most EVER.
