Twitter Reacts As Arsenal Are Back In Title Race After Narrow Win Against Burnley
Jan 22, 2017 at 11:09 PM
Arsenal have managed to win an absolute thriller as the victory took them to the second place in the Premier League. The Gunners have had arguably the best thriller of the season today as Burnley were unlucky to lose in the final moments of the match.
Arsenal were put into the lead by defender Shkodran Mustafi who has scored his first goal for the club since joining in the summer. However, Granit Xhaka once again had become the villain as he was sent off in the extra time after conceding the penalty to Clarets.
The visitors then leveled the score in extra time to keep themselves in a touching distance from taking away a valuable point from Emirates. However, a foul on Koscielny in the 97th minute meant the Gunners were awarded a penalty.
Alexis Sanchez has kept his cool head as he scored an unbelievable Peneka penalty to win the game for the club in the final moments of the game. The win see Arsenal move from fifth to second as other title rivals have all dropped points this week. The Gunners now are the only side that genuinely has the chance to challenge Chelsea for the title.
Here we look at how the twitter for the late drama at Emirates.

Only Alexis Sanchez would panenka a 97th minute penalty. Such supreme confidence and arrogance. Closest we'll ever get to Thierry Henry.
