Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Luke Ayling’s goal for Leeds United against Manchester United at Old Trafford today.

What’s the story?

Leeds suffered a 5-1 defeat at the hands of United away from home at Old Trafford in the Premier League this afternoon.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side were hugely disappointing and were poor defensively.

Defender Ayling struggled against Paul Pogba at the back, like the rest of his teammates.

In fairness to Ayling, France international midfielder Pogba is one of the best players in the world, and he was on fire today.

It was going to be hard for any defender or team to stop the former Juventus star this afternoon.

Ayling did score a brilliant goal against United, as you can see below.

The former Bristol City man took two shots, had a pass accuracy of 76.9%, won two headers, took 89 touches, made two tackles, one interception and three clearances, and put in two crosses.

What are Arsenal fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans were impressed by Ayling’s goal today.

Well, some of them anyway.

A couple of Arsenal fans actually want Ayling back following Calum Chambers’s disappointing performance against Brentford last night.

Ayling was at Arsenal as a youth player and could not break into the first team.
