Twitter erupts as Arsenal beat AC Milan in away UEFA Europa League tie

Taking on AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza, not a lot of people would've favoured the game to go the Gunners' way at the start of the encounter. However, Arsene Wenger's side put in a spirited performance to win 2-0 on the night, and take home an invaluable advantage in the form of two away goals.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan opened the scoring on the night as he found the back of the net as early as the 15th minute of the game, before Aaron Ramsey doubled the lead in the 49th minute. As it turns out, there was just no coming back for Gennaro Gattuso's men, as they fell apart far too easily for a team on a good run.

As usual, Twitter was at its bustling best with fans taking to the platform to express their opinions. Here are some of the best tweets we found:

Here's how Mkhitaryan put the North Londoners ahead

Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, and his men were finally praised on Twitter, but not without the usual trolls making their typical appearances.

Arsenal have done it before, they can still do it again. @MesutOzil1088 Assist King, while #Mkhitaryan can't stop scoring in #UEFAEuropaLeague

Don't take this for granted. Two goals advantage it's not much! Things can get really complicated if we decide to sit back because of being afraid to play offensively. Although Milan don't have the best attack we can't let them feel confident! #Arsenal #WeAreTheArsenal #COYG

You put your Wenger IN, your Wenger OUT.

In, out, in, out and shake it all about.

You do the Arsenal head-f*ck and turn it around. That's what it's all about. #arsenal #WengerOut #EuropaLeague #Arsenal

#Arsenal will still have to dig a lot because we are still deep in the hole. Our way back has only began.

If you blame Wenger when #Arsenal fails to win, you owe him applause when #Arsenal wins.

Some Arsenal fans behave too badly. https://t.co/WxZQdA4llT

Supporting @Arsenal comes with a lot of passion for the club. We lose, win, draw but after the last whistle, I always know our players did it for us. Forever a gooner #COYG #arsenal pic.twitter.com/Ir2Vir1d1u

I bet all #Arsenal fans are #WengerIn, on the weekend they'll be #WengerOut again #notmyclub
— Magical Moreno (@MorenoMagical) March 8, 2018

Naturally, Gennaro Gattuso and AC Milan were on the receiving end as well

Tonight, we played without brains, creativity, heart and will. Shocking performance and one that all #ACMilan supporters should feel disgusted about. #ACMvAFC
— D.C (@Davidjillo) March 8, 2018

with all the mouth #ACMilan made ! smh @abdorle ; #Arsenal showed the Europa is where they belong with a convincing win.

I was never worried I always knew #Arsenal would beat #ACMilan . I still can't believe we won, Gattuso looked more shocked then me. #coyg

Correct me if I am wrong but are we the only English team to beat both #ACMilan and #InterMilan at the #SanSiro ? #ArsenalFC #EuropaLeague @afcstuff @AFCAMDEN @ArsenalTerje @OptaJoe ?
