‘It’s been a pleasure, an honour to play for him'

It’s been an emotional day at Arsenal.

After we beat Huddersfield Town 1-0 in Arsène Wenger’s final match as our manager, Alexandre Lacazette - our top scorer this season, with 17 goals - spoke of his admiration for his fellow countryman.

on the importance of finishing with a win for the boss…
It was really important. It’s his last game at Arsenal so of course we wanted to win for him, even because this season away was very bad for us. We didn’t win enough games so I think for the finish it’s perfect for him

on what it was like to work under him…
It was a pleasure and an honour because he is a great coach and a great manager and did a lot of great things for the club and for the team, so of course I wanted to win for him.
