DECLAN RICE received a shower of beer bottles and cups during Arsenal's Champions League clash with Dinamo Zagreb.
The England international lit the blue paper two minutes after the Croatian giants' visit to the Emirates on Wednesday evening.
And sections of the traveling supporters took out their anger on the midfielder by pelting him twice with missiles.
The first incident occurred in the tenth minute when Rice tried to take a corner kick, when bottles, cups and what appeared to be a lighter were thrown.
Yobs in the Zagreb end targeted Rice again in the 27th minute with more missiles, one of which hit the midfielder.
Footie fans watching the match took to social media to blast the louts, with one writing on
Another said sarcastically: “Stylish from Zagreb fans.”
And another said: “Absolutely mean from Zagreb fans throwing things at Declan.”
One commented: 'What's the point of stewards?
“They literally stood there watching Rice being peppered by the Zagreb fans as he went over to take a corner.”
Another chimed in: “Well I have to say this is definitely a new and interesting tactic to stop Arsenal's corners.
“Kudos to the Zagreb fans for their creativity and stupidity.”
The actions of a minority of Zagreb fans are likely to land the Croatian champions in hot water with UEFA.
European football's governing body will no doubt throw the books at Zagreb, who will likely have to pay a fine.
