Arsenal fans were in fine voice throughout the evening as they backed manager Mikel Arteta and his players in a dominant performance.

But at the end of the game, a large section of supporters began singing: “Arsenal Fan TV, get out of our club.”

Many of these fans were pointing in the direction of those who contribute to the divisive YouTube channel, officially known as AFTV.

SunSport managed to film the end of the chant, just as it was dwindling down and supporters were leaving the Hawthorns.

The song was heard by several other journalists in the press box, with The Mirror’s describing it as ‘loud’ and ‘overwhelming’.

Several Arsenal fans watching at home also heard the noise while hat-trick hero Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was being interviewed on TV.
