After ten months out with injury, Danny Welbeck must have been over the moon to make his Arsenal return on Sunday.
Making a comeback would have meant a lot to Welbeck in any circumstances; a chance to turn out against league leaders Leicester must have felt too good to be true. Coming on at 1-1 with ten minutes to go, he joined a team who were in desperate need of a goal.
In the dying seconds of the game, Danny provided just that.
In true fairytale fashion, the 25-year-old won the game with a thumping header past the otherwise imperious Kasper Schmeichel. Understandably, Arsenal fans everywhere exploded in pure joy.
That was their first reaction. The next thing they did was use Danny's strike to troll Eden Hazard via the medium of Twitter. In case you didn't know, the much-maligned Chelsea star hasn't scored a Premier League goal this season.
As such, he now trails Welbeck for league goals despite playing 23 games.
