'Is this really Arsenal?' 'I'm still worried!' - Some fans bemused by quickfire double vs Palace

As good starts go, Arsenal are enjoying one of the best possible at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon (Saturday) against Crystal Palace.

Central defenders Sokratis and David Luiz have put Arsenal in control early on at the Emirates Stadium , with the duo both netting from corner kicks inside the first ten minutes to put Unai Emery's men 2-0 up against the Eagles.

It was just the start that Arsenal would have wanted, after losing out 1-0 in their last Premier League fixture against Sheffield United on Monday night at Bramall Lane.

But it means the Gunners have picked up where they left off in the closing stages of the UEFA Europa League game against Vitoria on Thursday night, when Nicolas Pepe scored twice inside the final ten minutes to turn the game around and seal victory for Arsenal.

However, the start to the game has got fans talking, with a mixed reaction from Arsenal fans on social media.

Here's how some Arsenal fans have reacted to the early goals this afternoon.
