Angry Nigerian pastor Apostle Johnson Suleman wants Mikel Arteta sacked after Arsenal's failure to reach the Europa League final.

Having scored an away goal in Spain in the first leg of their semifinal clash against Villarreal, a goal would have helped the Gunners advance to the final and have a shot at the title.

But all their efforts failed to hit the target with their captain Pierre Emerick Aubameyang being denied by the woodworks twice in the meeting.

Suleman, 50, also lamented his club losing at home to clubs like Aston Villa and Burnley in his rant on Twitter. He said:

"Arsenal sacked Emery, brought in Arteta. I complained and fellow Gunners as usual said 'Trust the process'.
"Aston Villa, Burnley, etc, all beat us at home. This is the worst confederacy. Kroenke out, Arteta out. Can't even type...sad."

The North London club would have qualified to play Champions League football next season if they won the Europa League but as it stands, they are far from clinching another Europa League spot.
