Some Arsenal fans on Twitter were impressed by the performance of Raphinha for Leeds United against Crystal Palace at Elland Road.

Raphinha helped Leeds to a 2-0 win against Palace at home in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

The Whites’ next game is against the Gunners away from home at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this coming Sunday.

Some Arsenal fans were impressed by the display produced by the 24-year-old Brazilian winger, and so were some Palace supporters.

Below are some of the best comments on Twitter:

How did Raphinha play against Crystal Palace?

Raphinha did not score or provide an assist for Leeds on Monday evening, but the winger was a constant threat to the Palace defence.

There was one moment when he beat Gary Cahill with a stunning piece of skill. The winger’s movement, willingness to make the right runs, and quality on the ball were superb to watch.

According to WhoScored, the 24-year-old winger took four shots of which two were on target, played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 75.%, won one header, took 75 touches, and made one tackle.

Worry for Arsenal?

Raphinha has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. The winger is scoring and creating chances – he has four goals and four assists to his name in the league this season, according to WhoScored – and his high-pressing and running is a threat to the opposition.

Arsenal are not in the best of form at the moment, and manager Mikel Arteta will be wary of the threat from the winger.
