of their fans when they were 3-0 up, claims Anderlecht boss Besnik Hasi



Anderlecht manager Besnik Hasi believes Arsenal were worried about entertaining their fans rather than seeing the game out after throwing away a three-goal lead against the Belgian side.
The Gunners left the Emirates with just a point when Anderlecht fought back from 3-0 down in the second-half to draw 3-3, a result which means Arsene Wenger's side are not yet guaranteed to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Hasi, who did not shake hands with Wenger at full-time, claims the Premier League side went in search of more goals in a bid to please supporters and paid for it,
'Arsenal tried to play the same way,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'They didn't just sit back. They tried to score a fourth and, at 3-2, they started to have doubts. We could see a difference from the mental perspective. I think we deserved the 3-3.
'Maybe Arsenal thought they were on top and they could get more goals and they could have fun in front of the public. At 3-0, you can say it's over and they wanted the fourth and the fifth goal but we made some changes.'
With the north London side having failed to keep a clean sheet in the competition so far this season, Hasi insists that he always felt Arsenal's defence would be vulnerable.
