'He remembered he had Saliba in his FPL': Fans poke fun at De Zerbi's reaction

Roberto De Zerbi appeared to be both shocked and concerned when he learned of West Ham's 2-0 win against Arsenal during a press conference on Thursday evening.

David Moyes' side have now claimed back-to-back victories against both Manchester United and the Gunners, with the Hammers now set to face off against Brighton on Tuesday night.

While De Zerbi's men claimed a big 4-2 victory against Tottenham on Thursday, with Pervis Estupinan scoring a sensational goal from outside of the penalty area, the Brighton boss looked worried upon hearing about the result at the Emirates during his post-match press conference.

A voice from out of picture can be heard whispering to the Italian, '2-0 to West Ham' as he addresses the media.

De Zerbi can appear to be overheard replying '2-0?' looking troubled, before the person adds: 'West Ham.'

The Brighton boss displayed a worried look, gritting his teeth before looking back towards the room of journalists, before proceeding to continue with his press conference.

But fans have poked fun at the manager on social media with one writing on X (formerly Twitter): 'He remembered he had Saliba in his FPL'.

Tomas Soucek opened the scoring for West Ham after 13 minuts to stun the Gunners, before Konstantinos Mavropanos headed in to double their lead after 55 minutes.

And despite the scoreline, Arsenal had 74 percent of possession, 30 goal attempts and eight shots on goal. David Moyes' side, conversely, had six attempts, but were more clinical, getting three of those shots on target.

Brighton similarly suffered a similar defeat to West Ham in August, with the Seagulls having 78 percent possession, 26 goal attempts and ten shots on target, but ultimately were beaten 3-1 by the Irons who had just 12 attempts
