Twitter explodes as Swansea City stun Arsenal in the Premier League

The brief positive start to Arsenal's 'Life after Alexis' era came to a screeching halt as bottom-placed Swansea City smashed Arsenal 3-1 to move out of the relegation places to 17th place.

In what was Henrikh Mkhitaryan's first game in Arsenal colours, the London club struggled for most parts of the game. Notably, Swansea have now won consecutive games for the first time in the Premier League this season.

Twitter understandably exploded after this upset defeat for Arsenal, and here are some of the best tweets:

Xhaka has to be one of Wenger’s worst ever buys based on his first 18 months. Still not sure what he does. Cech costs Arsenal 15 points a season, not saves. Iwobi is not a footballer. Mustafi is another Djourou. Poor.
