Some Arsenal fans have responded to Charlie Patino’s post on Twitter after the match against Chelsea this past weekend.

What’s the story?

Patino has taken to Twitter to express his delight at the win for the Arsenal Under-23 side against their Chelsea counterparts in Premier League 2 on Sunday.

The Gunners hammered Chelsea 6-1 despite playing most of the game with just 10 men.

Partino featured in the match, and the 17-year-old midfielder has taken to Twitter to express his delight at the win, as you can see below.

What are Arsenal fans saying?

As you can see from from the tweets below, Arsenal fans have responded positively to Patino’s message.

Well, some of them anyway.

The Arsenal supporters strongly believe in Patino’ talent, with one fan even saying that he is better than Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.

That is unlikely to be the case, but we will only get to know if Patino is given a chance in the first team on a regular basis.

Arsenal will take on AFC Wimbledon at the Emirates Stadium in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, and perhaps Patino, a Hale End academy graduate, will get the chance to feature in the tie.
