Sunday victors Sutton were drawn with Arsenal in the FA Cup on Monday in a tie which would have seen Leeds in it had they won, but Whites fans on Twitter didn’t seem too bothered.

The Yorkshire giants suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against the Vanarama National League team after Jamie Collins converted from the spot with 51 minutes on the clock.

Paul Doswell’s side have since been rewarded for their victory and they will host Premier League giants Arsenal at Gander Green Lane in the fifth round.

Leeds fans took to social media after the draw and many received the news well.

Some stated their confidence in playing Arsenal in the Premier League next season, while others shared that they had already met the Gunners three times in the last six years.

Here are a selection of their messages on Twitter:

Aye we'll be facing Arsenal home and away next season anyway #lufc
