Arsenal goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson quits social media over abuse

Arsenal goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson deactivates his Twitter account following heavy criticism of his performance in Tuesday's EFL Cup defeat to Manchester City.

Arsenal goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson has deactivated his Twitter account following his error-strewn performance against Manchester City in the EFL Cup.

The former Dijon shot-stopper did not cover himself in glory for Gabriel Jesus's third-minute opener, and Runarsson then allowed Riyad Mahrez's free kick to squirm through his hands as the winger restored City's lead in the second half.

The Icelandic goalkeeper made a fine save from Jesus earlier in the game, but Runarsson was nevertheless widely criticised on social media for his performance in Arsenal's 4-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium - and the 25-year-old's Twitter account no longer exists.

Runarsson had previously been forced to delete a number of foul-mouthed tweets regarding former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, which he posted as a 16-year-old back in 2011.

Arsenal sold Emiliano Martinez to Aston Villa for £20m in the summer, but Runarsson only cost the Gunners £1.8m, and the Iceland international has since made five appearances for the club - keeping two clean sheets in the Europa League.
