# Arsenal: Fans react to Mikel Arteta club tweet

**Loads of Arsenal fans have reacted to a post from the north London club’s official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/1247802862752739328) page showing Mikel Arteta’s strike against Manchester City in the Premier League back in 2012.**

The throwback footage shows the former central midfield player now manager nicking the ball before firing a shot into the bottom corner from outside of the box. The strike was the only goal of the game and is perhaps mostly remembered for dealing a potentially huge blow to City’s title hopes as they went toe-to-toe with arch rivals Manchester United that campaign, as reported by the [BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17576401).

Arteta made 150 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing a further 11 assists, according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikel-arteta/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/7451). Indeed, the Spaniard has now gone on to manage the club, where his record currently stands at eight wins, five draws and two defeats after 15 games, as per the [website](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mikel-arteta/leistungsdatenDetail/trainer/47620).

Despite only being in charge for 15 matches, one Gooner asked for the 38-year old to be sacked, jokingly or not, whilst loads of other supporters heaped praise on Arteta’s screamer.

These supporters shared their thoughts on Twitter:
