A former Olympian expressed the frustrations felt by Arsenal supporters everywhere following Mathieu Flamini's mindless challenge on Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi to give away a penalty.

After watching the veteran midfielder - who had only been introduced into the game a minute earlier - concede the penalty, former heptathlete and Olympic medalist Kelly Sotherton took her frustrations out on the television.

Arsenal might be in a better position if its players possessed the accuracy Sotherton exhibited when she threw her remote directly into the TV screen following Messi's penalty kick. The goal made it 2-0 for the visitors.
