Arsenal supporters were already turning on each other inside the ground, and tempers continued to flare after the final whistle
New footage has emerged of a 'fight' between Arsenal fans outside the Emirates Stadium following the 2-1 defeat by Watford.Arsene Wenger's side were dumped out of the FA Cup on Sunday thanks to goals from Odion Ighalo and Adlene Guedioura.
Despite a a late flourish from the Gunners, supporters were already turning on each other inside the ground, and tempers continued to flare after the final whistle.
Two fans could be seen holding each other by the throat, with one threatening to punch the other.
This latest defeat means Arsenal are now relying on a first league title in a decade to secure silverware this season, unless they can overturn a two-goal deficit against Barcelona in the Nou Camp in midweek.
Despite the defeat, Wenger was defiant, insisting his side deserved to win.
"Our fantastic run has come to an end on a day where we felt that our performance deserved a win," he said. "Credit to Watford, they created few chances but took them all. It's sad because we gave everything.
"The players don't miss on purpose. You have to be realistic. Of course on the first goal, we made a mistake. It was not possible medically to have started Welbeck."
While admitting his side face an uphill struggle to go to Catalonia and progress in Europe, Wenger has refused to rule it out.
"It is very difficult against Barcelona, but we have to see it as a challenge and try to make the impossible possible," he added
