Arsenal fans took to social media to vent their frustration.
Arsenal fans have demanded Mikel Arteta sells Sead Kolasinac this summer after the defender's error in the Gunners' 2-1 win at Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon. Arsenal beat their Premier League rivals thanks to Dani Ceballos' late winner to book their place in the FA Cup semi-final draw.
Arsenal took the lead in the first half through Nicolas Pepe and Arteta's men looked set to cruise to victory.
However, David McGoldrick levelled the scoreline with three minutes remaining after Kolasinac's error.
The defender's poor clearance hit Rob Holding before McGoldrick fired home from five yards out.
And Arsenal fans were fuming with Kolasinac's mistake, with many demanding Arteta sells the 27-year-old.
One Gunners fan wrote on Twitter: "Kolasinac is such a liability, very poor marking and his positioning tears the rest of the defense apart. Him and David Luiz should be sold ASAP."
Another said: "Kolasinac should be sold tomorrow morning"
"I'd sell Kolasinac," one fan simply put.
"We need to sell Kolasinac," another agreed.
One Gunners fan added: "KOLASINAC HAS BEEN SO BAD, SELL HIM."
Arsenal will join Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final draw.
The Gunners and the Red Devils will be joined by Leicester or Chelsea and Manchester City or Newcastle.

Arteta was full of praise for his players after the Sheffield United win, with the Spaniard hailing Arsenal's resilience.
He told BBC Sport: "I am really pleased. This is a difficult place to come and get a win.
"We are back at Wembley. I am really happy with the attitude and performance of the players.
"It is a great opportunity to try and win a title and play in Europe. We have played four away games since the restart.
"Thank you to the Premier League for our calendar playing every three days. But we go again on Wednesday.
"I knew Sheffield United were going to have moments.
"They are so good at their game plans and putting teams under pressure.
"We conceded form a long throw which is so hard to defend. But we were able to win the game."
