Kelly Sotherton Smashed Her TV When Arsenal Conceded a Penalty vs. Barcelona

It looks like former Olympian and diehard Arsenal fan Kelly Sotherton didn't take the Gunners' 2-0 defeat to Barcelona all that well on Tuesday.

Arsene Wenger's side held out bravely for over an hour against the reigning European champions before being caught on the counter and conceding a sloppy penalty to give Lionel Messi two goals in 13 second-half minutes.

And it appears the late capitulation was too much for Sotherton, who tweeted that she had smashed her television. Her tweet was accompanied by another from a friend, showing a remote control firmly wedged in the middle of the screen.

"

Sotherton later denied the incident on Twitter:

"

OLYMPIAN is always an OLYMPIAN and it's not true! 😁 https://t.co/xWaArmvNUp
