PIERO HINCAPIE seemed to take a playful jab at Virgil van Dijk following Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Liverpool.
Kai Havertz’s goal in the 13th minute secured the Gunners their first win at Anfield since 2014.
Hincapie, 24, substituted in the 84th minute for Christos Tzolis to help secure the win.
Post-match, the Ecuadorian shared match highlights on his Instagram, captioned: “I don’t forget..”
Initially, the post included a close-up of the gold Premier League badge on his sleeve, highlighting Arsenal’s champion status.
This seemed to antagonize Virgil van Dijk, who had shared a similar close-up after Liverpool’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal in January.

A second user remarked: “What goes around, comes around.”
A third added: “I love how petty we can be.”
However, another fan pointed out: “One is a UCL winner, the other cannot claim that.”
