Arsenal boss Unai Emery was roundly mocked on Twitter after his side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Leicester.

The Spaniard tends to start his interviews by saying 'Good evening' to the host and audience, but because of his accent he pronounces the 'v' as a 'b'.

And in the aftermath of the club's third defeat of the season, Arsenal fans and supporters of other clubs tweeted his accidental 'Good Ebening' catchphrase over 15,000 times.

Even Match of the Day host Gary Lineker got in on the act, firing a shot at controversial Gunners fan Piers Morgan in the process.

"Good ebening, Tubs @piersmorgan," he tweeted.

"Your team was almost as bad as your performance on The Chase. Thoughts are with you at this difficult time."

One Arsenal fan joked about what Emery could have said after the defeat: "Emery after the game: 'Good ebening. We lost 3-0 here last season and now just 2-0. The defence’s much improved since last year. Next season we shouldn’t lose more than 1-0.'”

Some Gooners have had enough of the former Paris St-Germain boss and want him replaced less than 18 months after he took charge.

"Enough is Enough....pack your bags and leave my darling club....carry your Good Ebening somewhere else....#EmeryOut," wrote one dispirited fan.

Goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison condemned a hapless Gunners side to a 2-0 loss at the King Power stadium.

Following the defeat, Emery said: “We need time and we need patience. We’ve changed a lot of players and we have young players.

“We are very ambitious with our demands and our targets. We know we need time and to be patient. We had a lot of circumstances that didn’t help us.

“The most important [thing] is to be calm and be ambitious and demand of ourselves.”

And when asked by Sky Sports if the club is calm and behind him, Emery simply responded: “Yes.”

Former Manchester United and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had been linked with the Arsenal job should Emery get the boot.

But ex-blues front man Tony Cascarino believes former Gunners captain Mikel Arteta would be the better option.

“There are managers out there, but I said three years ago Mikel Arteta would have been the one [I picked],” Cascarino said.

“If you read about all the stuff about Arteta at Man City behind the scenes, I felt he would be a great fit for Arsenal and I think he would take it to a new direction.
