Arsenal suffered the indignity of being jeered by their own fans after another careless display ended in a lacklustre 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls in the Emirates Cup on Sunday.
Arsene Wenger's side had already irritated the Emirates Stadium faithful by squandering a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw against Boca Juniors on Saturday and another frustrating result triggered an angry response from the 60,000 crowd in north London.
Robin van Persie gave Arsenal the lead just before half-time, but the Gunners wasted several opportunities to score again and their porous defence conceded a host of chances before New York finally equalised through a Kyle Bartley own goal in the final minutes.
The draw was enough to leave New York as winners of the four-team tournament, which also featured Paris St Germain and Boca Juniors.
