Watch Ben White anger Bournemouth keeper with s***house corner tactics in Arsenal’s pre-season draw
ARSENAL star Ben White angered Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto with more “s***house” corner tactics in last night’s pre-season clash.
The Gunners ace, who has been amazing fans with his new-found strength, started at right-back as his side drew 1-1 with the Cherries in America.
Happy to report that Ben White’s corner kick tactics are in mid season form

But he caused a stir for all the wrong reasons with some hilarious set-piece antics.
Video footage captured the moment Bournemouth attempted to defend an Arsenal free-kick, with White causing havoc in the box.
The defender is no stranger to cheeky corners, perfecting the art of mischief throughout last season.
And it paid off big-time as he successfully rattled Guglielmo Vicario in Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Tottenham in April.
This time, he stood right behind Cherries stopper Neto, who complained to the ref about White’s proximity.
Teammate Milos Kerkez then attempted to put himself between White and Neto.
And a hilarious chase, reminiscent of classic cartoon Tom & Jerry, then ensued as White and Kerkez ran in speedy circles around Neto as the ball was delivered.
White managed to shake off Kerkez before wrapping his arms around Neto while the goalie was attempting to jump.

This angered the Brazilian stopper, who immediately charged towards White before shoving him.
However, the former Leeds and Brighton man took zero notice of Neto’s complaints and jogged back to his half as the ball went out of play.

It was a highly amusing moment in a fairly quiet match which saw Fabio Vieira bag Arsenal’s only goal of the game.
But Mikel Arteta’s men were eventually pegged back thanks to a second-half strike from Antoine Semenyo.
The Londoners struggled to get into the pace of the game despite having more possession, with Bournemouth getting off more shots at goal.
Arsenal had the last laugh though as fans were treated to a token post-match penalty shootout.
The Gunners clinched a 5-4 victory.
But they will be hoping to finish the job in 90 minutes when they face Manchester United in the early hours of Sunday morning.
