Everton put fuming Piers Morgan in his place with perfect tweet after Arsenal win

Everton proved that sometimes saying less means more after they issued the perfect response to fuming Arsenal fan Piers Morgan.

The Blues were still celebrating their superb 1-0 win against the top-of-league Gunners when TV presenter Morgan took to social media to not only air his fume at Arsenal's performance but belittle their opponents in the process.

Posting on Twitter, he wrote: "Dismal Arsenal performance today - we've been bullied around by one of the worst teams in the Premier League. Inexplicable."

Spotting the outburst, Everton's official Twitter account retweeted the post from Morgan, accompanied by an animated GIF of new Blues manager Sean Dyche.

As the camera zooms in on the Everton boss, he breaks into a large smug smile that is sure to get under the skin of the North London club's 'celebrity fan'.

Morgan later bit back at the Blues account on Twitter, replying: "See how cocky you’re feeling when we win the League and you get relegated…"

The light-hearted trolling of Morgan didn't end there however. Also replying to his post was former Chelsea star John Terry, who simply sent three sets of eyeballs back.

Clearly not in the mood to carry the slack of a humbling defeat, Morgan simply responded to Terry by saying: "Not now."

Everton's morale-boosting victory on Dyche's first game in charge moved the Blues out of the relegation zone ahead of the day's later matches.

The Gunners remain five points clear at the top of the table, but will see their advantage cut to just two points if Manchester City win at Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow, albeit Mikel Arteta's side will still have a game in hand.
