Arsenal began their long goodbye to Arsene Wenger with a thumping victory at home to West Ham United on Sunday.

After Friday's announcement that the long-serving French manager would be departing the Emirates this summer, it's all set to be a rather emotional few weeks for everyone involved with the club.

That farewell got off to the perfect start against the Hammers after three late goals secured a 4-1 win.

Nacho Monreal opened the scoring shortly after half-time but the home side were pegged back by a Marko Arnautovic equaliser.

However, a three goal blitz in the last eight minutes of the match delighted supporters and has set them up nicely ahead of Thursday's massive clash with Atletico Madrid.

One player fans were most impressed with was Danny Welbeck, who produced his third impressive performance in as many weeks across the 90 minutes.

Supporters now believe he could play a pivotal role in their bid to win the UEFA Europa League and are delighted he's again showing some form after a fairly lacklustre season.

They took to Twitter to share their thoughts...
