'Brilliant', 'Best display in AFC shirt' – Arsenal fans blown away by one fringe star v AC Milan

It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Arsenal completed a stunning 5-1 victory over AC Milan in the Europa League on Thursday night and booked their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

They'll find out who they play on Friday but in the meantime fans are delighted with the performance of defender Calum Chambers.

Chambers, who has been floating around the fringes of the Arsenal first team, got his chance after an injury to centre-back Laurent Koscielny after just 11 minutes of the game.

And the defender, who has faced a lot of criticism from Arsenal fans, put in a performance that had them purring at the Emirates.

One fan went as far as to say it was his best performance in an Arsenal shirt.

Another said he had put in a brilliant performance and that it was good to see him getting a run in the side.

Here are the best reactions from Arsenal fans, who are happy that they've finally got something to cheer:

Chambers- best game in AFC shirt
