Arsenal legend Ian Wright’s evening got even worse when he was subjected to taunts from his son.

The Gunners lost 4-1 to Manchester City in their Premier League title showdown and one former City star was loving it.

Shaun Wright-Phillips played in Sky Blue between 1999 and 2005, and then again from 2008 to 2011, and he is clearly still a fan of his old side, as he let his dad know.

Former Arsenal striker Ian was given the bleak task of analysing a painful defeat for the Gunners on Match of the Day, and this got worse when host Gary Lineker highlighted a Tweet from his son.

Shaun had tweeted in the aftermath of the defeat: “Hi @IanWright0 how’s things? Just checking in... Hope you’re ok dad.”

Ian was clearly unaware as Lineker said: “We’ve got a little message from someone you know reasonably well, I think he played for Manchester City. 

“Are you going to accept that Ian? It’s a bit naughty.”

Wright Sr then hilariously responded: “See. He’s just so annoying.

“Someone I taught to wee. I taught him how to wee this boy and look at him. He still can’t reach the toilet.”

Lineker then quipped: “He’s certainly taking the wee now.”
