“He can only improve” – Arsenal fans react to star’s performance against West Brom

French international Alexandre Lacazatte scored a brace as the Gunners secured a nervy win against the Baggies at the Emirates last night. It could have been a nightmare start for the Gunners as Jay Rodriguez was denied a clear penalty in the fifth minute by Bobby Madley after the striker was fouled by Shkodran Mustafi in the Arsenal penalty area, but the club record signing seems to have found a new home at the Emirates.

He continued his excellent home form at home by becoming the first player to score in his first three home games since Brian Marwood in 1988. The win moved the Gunners up to seventh on the table and are just a point adrift the top four.

Arsenal striker, Alexandre Lacazatte joined the Gunners from French side Lyon in a record breaking £52 million move this summer. Although, many thought the Frenchman would struggle to cope with the rigors of the Premier League in his first season but he has proved doubters wrong by scoring four goals in his first six Premier League matches.

The 26-year-old put the Gunners ahead in the 20th minute courtesy a brilliant free-kick from Alexis Sanchez that was tipped by Forster with the Frenchman beating the Baggies defender quickly to score a free header. In the 67th minute he added to his tally for the night via a penalty after Aaron Ramsey was fouled in the box by West Brom defender Nyom in the box.

The 26-year-old is known for his pace, dribbling and finishing, he made a total of 45 appearances for his former club Lyon last season scoring 37 goals in all competitions and will be hoping to translate this feat at Lyon for the Gunners this season.
