Arsenal 3-0 Stoke City: 5 Talking Points

#4 Positive comeback from Alexandre Lacazette

Lacazette increased his goal tally to 9 for the season

The game changed when the Frenchman was brought on for Danny Welbeck in the second half of the game. Coming back from a knee injury that had robbed him of six weeks of playing time, Lacazette looked quick and vibrant in the middle.

He completed some terrific dribbles and linked up well with Aubameyang. He took the second penalty of the match after being brought down by Badou Ndiaye in the box and scored Arsenal’s third and final goal of the game. Aubameyang’s selfless decision to let Lacazette take the penalty will definitely infuse confidence in the latter, which will be particularly important for the team ahead of their Europa League tie against CSKA Moscow on Thursday.
