The 27-year-old slipped just minutes after coming on as a substitute which allowed Ferran Torres to regain possession and almost immediately score for the Spaniards.

Fortunately for Holding, The Gunners were already 4-2 up at the time and still went on to win the game.

But it didn't stop fans from letting Holding know they weren't happy with his mistake.

Many took to social media to voice their opinions, one wrote: "Why can't we just leave Rob Holding in the states?"

While another added: "Didn't some team offer £2million for him? I'd give him away for free"

The former Bolton centre-back seemed to respond to his mistake following the match.

He uploaded a black screen on his Instagram story and simply wrote over it "Nice one".

Holding has long been linked with a move away from North London and was reportedly subject to a £2.1million bid from Besiktas earlier this summer.
