Arsenal overcame Stoke City today 3-0 to condemn Paul Lambert's side to real relegation trouble. With just six games left, Stoke City are second from bottom and now three points from safety.
However, their fans have been strongly condemned online after footage emerged of fans continuing to berate Aaron Ramsey, who famously suffered a double fracture of his leg against the side in 2010.
At the time it was reported that Ramsey refused to accept Ryan Shawcross's apology for the challenge, something that provoked the Stoke fans to annually boo the Welsh midfielder. Today they took the opportunity to target Ramsey with a series of chants.

The abuse didn't seem to effect Ramsey though, who alongside Mohamed Elneny put in a man-of-the match performance in the centre of the park.
