A selection of Arsenal fans were delighted for Alexandre Lacazette after he bagged a brace in the club’s comfortable 4-0 win over Slavia Prague in the Europa League last night.

The Gunners played out a frustrating 1-1 draw in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, but they had to score at the Sinobo Stadium to stay in the competition.

Bukayo Saka had his curled effort terrifically saved by the goalkeeper in the 15th minute, but Emile Smith Rowe managed to tap in the rebound.

However, the goal was adjudged to be offside by the slimmest of margins after an extended VAR review which took more than two minutes.

The Gunners quickly put the disappointment to bed, with Smith Rowe showing terrific composure in the box before assisting Nicolas Pepe’s goal in the 18th minute.

Just three minutes later, Saka was fouled in the box. Captain on the night, Lacazette converted the resultant penalty as he sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.

Moments later, Saka finally got on the scoresheet as he beat the goalkeeper at the near post with a composed finish after a clever assist from Calum Chambers.

Slavia were unable to reduce the deficit before the break, and the same was the case during the second half before Lacazette scored the Gunners’ fourth goal.

Lacazette was poor with his finishing in the first leg but made amends by showing quick feet before firing a shot with his weaker left foot.

There were many standout performers on the night, but some of the club’s faithful were delighted with the impact from the skipper.

Twitter reactions:

Lacazette looks like a completely different player when he’s surrounded by runners (ESR, Saka, Pepe and Martinelli). He’s the Firmino of this team, needs runners around him. Never ever play Willian and Laca in the same team again. #SLAARS
