Arsenal have scored in extra time to bag three important points against Burnley as they have now won five Premier league games in a row and are looking increasingly dangerous week after week.
The result meant Gunners have now managed 16 points from their first seven games as they are only two points away from the league leaders Manchester City as they have lost to Spurs earlier in the day.
However, the goal was a controversial one as the ball went off Laurent Koscielny’s hand into the net as Gunners won the game. The Gunners looked impressive throughout the game but failed to find the back of the net as Burnley were very well organized in the defense and has frustrated Gunners’ attackers.
However, Arsene Wenger led men have found the goal two minutes into the extra time as the ball came off Koscielny hand as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has hit into his arms before rolling into the net.
Here we look at the how the twitter reacted as Gunners have now won five Premier League games in a row after managing only one point in their opening two league games.

Koscielny has scored so many important goals for this club, as well as being a phenomenal and consistent defender. He's an Arsenal legend.
