Twitter Reacts as Arsenal Pull off Last-Gasp Win over Leicester

Arsenal's Premier League title challenge received a huge boost on Sunday at lunchtime when they were able to overcome league leaders Leicester City in dramatic fashion.

The Gunners—who are the only team to do the league double over the Foxes this season—won 2-1 thanks to a last-second winner from returning star Danny Welbeck. The hero of the game, however, was arguably N'Golo Kante, who enjoyed another standout performance, which didn't go unnoticed on Twitter:

Leicester took the lead shortly before half-time through an excellent Jamie Vardy penalty. However, the jury was out on whether the Premier League's leading scorer earned the spot kick through illicit means: 

The game became a lot more challenging for the visitors in the 54th minute when Danny Simpson received his second yellow card. The dismissal was perceived to be quite important in the context of the title race:

Theo Walcott levelled the scores in the 70th minute, with the assist coming from Mesut Ozil (obviously):

"

Football has peaked when the words 'Danny Simpson cost Leicester City the Premier League title' can be spoken with complete sincerity.

The winner finally came in the dying seconds when the substitute Welbeck—playing his first game this season—nodded home. Suffice it to say, Gunners fans were delighted:

The result put Arsenal two points behind the league leaders, but many fans assumed that the result had won them the league:
