Mesut Ozil was left with egg on his face after tweeting a picture of himself and Samuel L Jackson captioned “he doesn’t only know a lot about good movies, he also supports the best football team. #afc”
The Hollywood star was at the Emirates on Saturday to watch Arsenal draw with Man City and the German footballer was delighted to have his picture taken with him afterwards.
The only problem is, as social media was quick to point out, Jackson is well known to be a Liverpool supporter.
Are you sure about that statement, @MesutOzil1088? #AFC #LFC pic.twitter.com/9f51EWQNwO

Ozil quickly deleted the picture and reposted it with a different caption.
