Twitter reacts to Arsenal scoring twice in 74 seconds against Manchester United
It took all of seven minutes for Arsenal to send the Emirates Stadium into a frenzy on Sunday.
Before Manchester United even tasted possession in its Premier League clash versus its storied rival, the Gunners found themselves up 2-0 courtesy of a backheel flick from Alexis Sanchez and a composed finish from Mesut Ozil.
. @Arsenal 2-0 lead (7') is 2nd fastest 2-0 lead against @Manutd in the Premier League, after Sheffield Wednesday in Dec 1992 (6'). #BPL

If that wasn't demoralising enough for supporters of United, the goals were separated by a span of only 74 seconds, barely allowing them time to recover from Sanchez's opener.
Naturally, the reaction on Twitter was hilarious:
New worry for Arsenal Fans: Might you be using up all your happiness in one game?

"2-0?" says a perplexed Arsenal fan to his mate, pointing at the scoreboard. Unlucky lads, should not have turned up 10 minutes late

75 - Number of minutes it'll be until Arsenal fans start tweeting "Wenger Out" again. Interruption.
