Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker both tweet their thoughts as Arsenal beat Fulham to stay top of the table
Santi Cazorla hit a second-half brace to keep Arsenal top of the Premier League table thanks to a 2-0 win against Fulham.
The Spanish playmaker broke the deadlock in the 57th minute, before adding a second five minutes later to secure three points for Arsene Wenger’s men.
The win prompted plenty of activity from Arsenal players past and present on Twitter – and here are our favourite updates, in chronological order as usual.
