Some Arsenal fans have responded to Cedric Soares’s post on Twitter after the Gunners defender scored twice against Brentford.

What’s the story?

Arsenal won 4-0 against Brentford in a behind-closed-doors friendly at London Colney on Thursday.

Cedric is a defender by trade and is not known for his goalscoring, but the 30-year-old right-back found the back of the net twice against the Bees.

As stated on Arsenal’s official website, Cedric played at left wing-back.

For his first goal, the Portugal international lobbed the Brentford goalkeeper with 15 minutes left on the clock.

Then in the final minute, Cedric headed home Nicolas Pepe’s cross.

What are Arsenal fans saying?

Cedric has made a post on Twitter after the win, and some Arsenal fans have responded to it, as you can see below.

While some fans are happy to see Cedric score, they also want him to replicate this performance in competitive games.

One Arsenal supporter has actually asked the defender to play as a number 9.

The Gunners are struggling at the moment and are at the foot of the Premier League table with no point from three games.

Mikel Arteta’s side have yet to score in the league this season.
