Schalke - Kolasinac's former side before he left to join the Gunners in the summer - are rivals of Cologne.

After wheeling home in delight after seeing his strike hit the back of the net, he had a message waiting for Arsenal's opponents.

Written on his shirt, was the word "Nordkurve" which translates to "North Curve," the name of the Schalke end containing their most fearsome fans.

His message will certainly go down well with the Royal Blues faithful, as he paid homage to the side he made his first team debut with.

The equaliser was just what Arsenal fans were praying for as they finally had something to cheer about in an evening marred by fan trouble.

Jhon Cordoba sent the travelling support into delirium when he scored a spectacular 45-yard strike after a poor clearance from David Ospina.

But the FA Cup champions showed their class in the second half with three expert goals.

After Kolasinac fired the Gunners level, Alexis Sanchez sent his home fans purring once more with a sublime shot into the top corner.

Then Hector Bellerin wrapped up the three points after he tapped home from close range after Theo Walcott's attempt was parried into danger.
