Fans have reacted with shock on social media after Arsenal star Willian finally broke his goalscoring duck for the club at the 37th attempt.
The Brazilian attacking midfielder moved from Chelsea in August 2020 but has struggled to cement his place in the side, and had not opened his account for the club until a fine free-kick against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday evening.
With the score 2-1 to the hosts and West Brom pushing for an unlikely win to avoid relegation to the Championship, Willian curled home a superb set-piece in the 90th minute to put the gloss on a win for the Gunners.
