Nasri, 36, was working for French broadcaster Canal Plus providing punditry on the match.
After the final whistle, the former midfielder was the subject of abuse from an irate Arsenal supporter.
The fan is claimed to have squared up to Nasri, before claiming he “sold his soul”.
As others defended Nasri, the enraged fan allegedly began throwing punches at fellow supporters.
Alex Crook of talkSPORT wrote after the match: “An #AFC fan has just been thrown out of the Emirates for squaring up to Samri Nasri near the press box.
“And then started throwing punches at fellow Arsenal fans. Absolute moron.”
In a video clip depicting the immediate aftermath that has since circulated online, Nasri can be seen looking visibly shaken.
He left Arsenal for Man City in 2011 following three years with the Gunners.
