Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has incurred the wrath of broadcaster Piers Morgan after Saturday's 2-2 draw away to Chelsea.
The Gunners chief found himself in Morgan's sights after David Raya's rocky display at Stamford Bridge, which saw Mykhailo Mudryk score from an acute angle before he almost gifted Cole Palmer his second goal of the evening. Raya was brought in from Brentford under surprise circumstances in the summer and appears to have replaced Aaron Ramsdale as Arteta's No1.
And Saturday's draw wasn't the first time the newcomer has concerned his new bosses, with a few notable mistakes in the recent 1-0 win over Manchester City. And Morgan appeared to have seen enough as he aimed a question at the Arsenal boss.

Reacting to Raya's uncertain display in the London derby, Morgan asked his 8.6million X followers: "Remind me again why we ditched Ramsdale for Raya?" And there are many fellow fans who may be wondering the same thing.
Do you think Aaron Ramsdale should be promoted back to being Arsenal's No1? Let us know in the comments section below.
Arteta has been tentative in his comments regarding the newfound goalkeeping rivalry at the Emirates Stadium. And it's the Spaniard's suggestion that Raya and Ramsdale could continue to jostle for the starting spot.
England international Ramsdale was absent from Saturday's squad after his partner, Georgina, gave birth to their child less than 24 hours prior. He started Arsenal's first four games of the Premier League campaign but has been unused in the club's last five.

Raya has also been the keeper of choice in each of Arsenal's two Champions League games so far this season. That would suggest he has firmly taken over as the Gunners' stopper of choice, with Ramsdale settling for just one club appearance over the past month.
It's important to note Raya's move from Brentford is only a season-long loan, with the club retaining an option to make his move permanent next summer for £27million. However, Morgan seemingly isn't alone among those who would rather Arsenal spend their funds elsewhere.
