Twitter users stayed busy before, during and after the match. Some of them also showed their frustration after wrong offside decisions were made in favour of Manchester United.

Liverpool – The Kop
Chelsea – The Matthew Harding
Dortmund – The Yellow Wall
Manchester United – The linesman— 🇪🇸 (@Arrizabalager) February 26, 2017

Including the Community Shield, Ibrahimovic now has two winners’ medals during his seven months in England, half as many trophies as Arsenal have collected since 2005.
