Here are the Twitter reactions on Arsenal entering the UEFA Europa League finals.
When the draw was made, Arsenal were seen as clear cut favourites to enter the finals and they did no harm to their reputation by beating Valencia 7-3 on aggregate. The Gunners won the first leg 3-1, and the reverse leg sees him triumph once again to qualify for the first European final since 2006.
An early strike from Kevin Gameiro put pressure on the visitors, but they responded quickly through their talisman Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. The scoreline read the same for the rest of the half, but Unai Emery motivated his side to go for the victory in this game despite having a huge margin of victory in the two-legged tie.
Alexandre Lacazette scored a brilliant goal in the 50th minute and the French International Kevin Gameiro once again pulled the score back within eight minutes. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored twice within twenty minutes to make the scoreline look ridiculously good.
It was a good game and Emery got it tactically right to storm past his old club, Valencia CF.
Arsenal are the third club to qualify for the finals of the European league as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool made famous comebacks in the Champions League. Chelsea are playing extra time against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions between Arsenal and Valencia.

Wenger left @Arsenal in safe hands by signing Laca & Auba who’ve now scored 48 goals & provided 18 assists and on top of that contributed majorly to take us to the first European final in 13 years. Arsene Wenger has done it again. Top man. #OneArseneWenger pic.twitter.com/2vjiRuvHaw

Easily Aubameyang’s best performance in an Arsenal shirt. He was pumped up from the first whistle. We know he can score goals but he was deadly in front of goal tonight. All round play was superb and his work rate was truly sensational. #AFC

3 down, one to go. Congratulations to @Arsenal on making it through to the Europa League final. If @ChelseaFC make it too (it’s gone to extra-time), it will, of course, be the first time in the history of European football that one country has all 4 finalists.
