‘No one deserves it more’, Arsenal fans on Twitter react after defender’s man of the match display

A section of the Arsenal fans were elated with the dominating performance of skipper Laurent Koscielny during the 2-0 Premier League triumph over Chelsea on Saturday evening.

The Frenchman was lined up alongside Sokratis Papastathopoulos in a two-man central defence to curb the Blues’ threat and he managed to make a vital impact on both ends of the field.

While Koscielny showed glimpses of his old self with key blocks and clearances, he was also effective on the opposite end of the pitch where he scored the second goal which handed the club a strong advantage they could hold onto.

Here are some of the best tweets;

A section of the Arsenal fans have been targeting Koscielny of late amid his average performances but that did not deter Emery from naming the centre-back for what was one of the club’s most important games of the campaign.

Koscielny, who had previously been struggling to get up to full fitness, produced a vintage performance but he was no doubt assisted by Sokratis effectively with the Greek coming up with vital interceptions while contributing the assist for the Frenchman’s goal, though the effort was meant to be a shot.

With the victory, the Gunners have moved within three points off fourth-placed Chelsea and Unai Emery will be hoping that the team can produce a similar showing for the forthcoming league games which certainly won’t be easy with an away trip to Manchester City scheduled next month.

Before that, however, they have an FA Cup fourth-round tie at home against Manchester United on Friday night and the manager should field the strongest possible lineup for the game, given the competition presents the best chance for the club to secure silverware.
