Sevilla striker Wissam Ben Yedder mocked Arsenal over their failure to qualify for the Champions League after being verbally abused by one of their fans.

The Spanish side's victory over the Gunners on Sunday meant they won both of their games in the Emirates Cup but still finished second to the Gunners thanks to the friendly competition's unusual points system.

That result saw Ben Yedder take to Twitter and jokingly ask Arsenal to "give us back the cup".

"We win 2/2 but we are not first," Ben Yedder wrote in Spanish.

"Give us back the cup Arsenal ahaha."

While many took his comments in jest, one Arsenal fan decided to abuse the former Toulouse frontman.

"Toulouse reject baguette s****ing dwarf," @ffsharry wrote.

The Frenchman got the last laugh, however, after his dig back at the Arsenal supporter went viral.

"Ahaha. Don't be mad bro. You may get your revenge in Champions Le...... Oh wait," Ben Yedder wrote in return.

Arsenal will not be playing in the Champions League this season after finishing fifth last term.
