Joe Willock has taken to Instagram to post a ten-word reaction to Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Molde FK in the Europa League last night.

The Gunners academy graduate wrote: ‘1 goal ⚽️ & 3points✅. Perfect night at the emirates @arsenal

In response to his post, Nicolas Pepe wrote: ‘Nico Nico !!! 😂😂’

More of Willock’s Arsenal teammates were seen replying to his upload.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who cost £56 million – wrote: ‘Willllooooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥’

Jadon Sancho sent a heart emoji in response, while Emile Smith-Rowe and Florin Balogun also sent messages after seeing the 21-year-old’s Instagram post, which came after he delivered a fantastic performance.

Willock managed to get on the scoresheet with a well-taken goal, while his overall display was a solid one.

According to SofaScore, Arsenal’s No.28 completed two key passes, and also embarked on three dribbles – two of which were successful.

Willock also won five ground duels and one aerial duel, while registering three tackles and two clearances.

It was an excellent display from the youngster, who now has two goals and one assist in seven appearances this season.

All of those have come in the Europa League, but his displays across the continent will presumably have impressed Mikel Arteta.

Perhaps we’ll see Willock earning a few more starts in the Premier League on the back of his eye-catching European exploits.

One thing’s for certain – he’s definitely earned the right to strut his stuff more frequently in England’s top-flight.
