Arsenal staged a comeback from a goal down for the third successive game as they beat Swansea City 2-1 at the Emirates on Saturday
The visitors took the lead against the run of play midway through the first half when Tammy Abraham played Sam Clucas through on goal, before the latter scored past Petr Cech. But, Sead Kolasinac took matters into his own hands to inspire his side’s comeback.
The Bosnian first levelled things up with a close-range finish before providing the assist for Aaron Ramsey’s goal before the hour mark that ultimately turned out to be the winner. And Kolasinac was a popular figure among the fans as Arsenal maintained their 100% home record this season.
Is Kolasinac the best transfer of this season in the Premier League? #afc pic.twitter.com/KXm47k8Qum

Kolasinac has more EpL goals than hazard this season, one is a full back the other is the best player in the world after messi and cr7.

Still can’t believe we sold Alex Oxlade Chamberlain for £40M and signed Sead Kolasinac for free.
Sead Kolasinac: 3goals
Chamberlain: 1goal— RG (@Lacazettes) October 28, 2017
Still can’t believe we signed Sead Kolasinac for free, absolutely incredible business by the club to lure him here.

Kolašinac’s offensive value to the squad is huge. Adds a completely new dimension from Monreal/Gibbs last season. Nice for him to get a goal

But, there were concerns over his fitness and availability for next week’s game against Manchester City after he limped off towards the end of the match.
Kolasinac comes off for Rob Holding. Seems to limp slightly. Hopefully not a major problem for him.

Praying the Kolasinac limp isn’t anything serious. Would be a massive loss if he got injured.

His importance cannot be over emphasize.— Buchi. (@Biggysmallzy) October 28, 2017
Meanwhile, there was praise reserved for Arsene Wenger as well after his side staged a popular comeback in his 800th Premier League game.
Arsene Wenger believed in Aaron Ramsey when you all abused him and main man repaid AW with draught ending and match winning goals when you all abused AW. I love this game
