Arsenal fans have been left raging at Jakub Kiwior after his performance in their Premier League clash against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Mikel Arteta’s side limped to a 1-1 draw in West London after Raul Jimenez’s opening goal was cancelled out by William Saliba’s finish from a corner, while a late Bukayo Saka goal was ruled out by VAR.
Following the first goal, which came after just 11 minutes, the spotlight was immediately fixed on the 24-year-old who came into the side to replace Gabriel Magalhaes.
His midweek performance against Man United had earned him a continued role in Arteta’s starting XI amid rave reviews, but fans were quickly reminded of the importance of their usual star man.
A ball forward into the path of Jimenez bypassed Kiwior, who made little attempt to intercept or block the pass, before the Mexican fired it into the bottom corner.
Questions were also asked of both William Saliba and David Raya, but the majority of backlash from the travelling supporters fell at the feet of the Poland international.
This was only Kiwior’s second league start of the season, with his other two coming in the EFL Cup, but fans are already calling for him to be left out of the starting XI.
Arsenal fans tear into Jakub Kiwior after what he did v Fulham
Kiwior has often proved a reliable backup for the two centre-backs, having featured 50 times for the Gunners since his move from Spezia in 2023.
However, he has never established himself as a regular starter, with Gabriel and Saliba the first-choice duo when fit – and injuries appear to have cost Arsenal once again here.
Taking to social media in reaction to the game’s opening goal and the centre-back’s struggles, Kiwior was labelled “awful” and a “disaster” as fans made their feelings known.
