Piero Hincapie is earning big praise from fans after the defender told Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler to be quiet as he continued to express his dissatisfaction towards Arsenal.
Hurzeler was not best pleased with Arsenal and the way they played football, even suggesting they make their own rules.

The Brighton boss was constantly spotted getting rather irate on the touchline, and his press conference was rather explosive towards the Gunners.
During the match, Hincapie shushed the Brighton boss following the words exchanged between the pair in the first half.
Piero Hincapie silences Fabian Hurzeler
Piero Hincapie turned around and shushed Fabian Hurzeler after the Brighton boss told him to ‘f—ing play football’.
The Brighton manager was not happy with some of the Gunners’ tactics during their win over his team at the Amex Stadium.
When Hincapie came to take the ball from him at a throw-in, the German coach had a slight pop at him, and the Arsenal defender bit back.
The 24-year-old was outstanding against the Seagulls and is once again looking like a no-brainer signing at just £45 million.
The defender managed 12 clearances, four recoveries and won six duels during the win over Brighton, and Arsenal fans are loving him.
The Gunners’ supporters love him even more after spotting what he did to Hurzeler, and they have made their feelings clear on social media.

“This guy is a warrior. Mineral monster. Was winning everything tonight. Unbelievable player.”
“Arsenal fans are on edge all the time, so they really doubted this monster. He’s gonna be a key player for this club for years to come,” claimed another fan.
A third supporter added: “Sign him permanently, make him captain and highest paid player NOW!”
There was yet more praise for the Ecuadorian defender: “I stood up and applauded this brudda, Hurzeler is very annoying!”
“Hurzeler’s face after Hincapie shushes him is absolutely priceless. Man had no idea what to do with himself,” stated this Arsenal fan.
Finally, another Arsenal fan stated: “He’s a legend in the club already.”
