Arsenal 1-1 Atletico Madrid: 5 Talking Points

#4 Alexandre Lacazette continues to shine

The centre-forward opened the scoring in the 60th minute of the game

Since returning from a long injury hiatus, Alexandre Lacazette has been on fire for the Gunners. Against Atletico Madrid, it was his header from a cross from Jack Wilshere that put Arsenal in the lead and it came after long spells of possession and failed attempts on target from the hosts.

It was his third goal in three games, and if Arsenal wish to come out on top in Spain next week, a strong performance from him will be crucial to their success.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's decision of letting the Frenchman take the second penalty against Stoke City earlier this month is paying dividends even now, as Lacazette continues to grow in confidence and shine in every game.
