And the fans were thrilled with some of their players' displays in the 2-0 victory for the north London club.

One such player was David Luiz as the fans were quick to recognise his contribution to the team.

The Luiz they saw against Man United truly was the centre-back they all knew in his prime as he recorded one tackle, one interception, four clearances and one aerial duel won.

Even though those are not otherworldly stats, Luiz was overall solid at the back and contributed to Arsenal's clean sheet - just their fourth of the season in the Premier League.

Some of the fans also used this opportunity to rinse Man United and Harry Maguire, stating that they have a better defender in their team and that they also didn't have to break the bank to land him, with Luiz costing one tenth of what their Wednesday opponents paid for the England international.
