A frustrated Emery lashed out during Arsenal’s 1-1 Boxing Day draw against the Seagulls, but appeared to apologise to the fan in question after the unintended incident.
He reiterated that view when speaking to reporters after the game.
“I said to them [the supporter], apologies, because I kick the bottle after a disappointing action for us in the last minutes. It wasn’t hard, but it touched one supporter for them. I said to them ‘I’m sorry’.”
Arsenal entertain Fulham in the Premier League tomorrow aiming to bounce back from the crushing 5-1 loss to Liverpool on Saturday which was preceded by that 1-1 draw against Brighton. They are currently fifth in the table, trailing Chelsea by five points and three points ahead of Manchester United.
