Arsenal's first game in the 2016-17 League Cup gave fans reason to troll Manchester United's supporters. Why? Because one of their midfield signings has done what Paul Pogba can only dream about...for now.
Granit Xhaka scored his second goal for Arsenal with only his second shot, giving Arsenal the lead against Nottingham Forest. Xhaka's shot was deflected by Notts' goalkeeper, but his 30-yard blast was powerful enough to beat the keeper's attempt to deflect it.
Considering that Xhaka's transfer to Arsenal was way inferior than Pogba's with Manchester United, fans started trolling the French midfielder due to his lack of influence with Mourinho's crew and his off-the-pitch antics. Here are some of the finest trolls inspired by Xhaka's stunner.

Xhaka's vines are 30 yard goals not dabs and dance.

Pogba has changed haircut 5 times, the difference.
If Pogba scored the two Xhaka has scored, the DVD would be out on Wednesday morning.
