‘The team put energy into Laca’

Alexandre Lacazette is very much back in business.

Our No. 9 returned to the starting line-up after scoring his first goal for nine games against Newcastle at the weekend, and followed it up with the late winner against Olympiacos

After the game Mikel Arteta gave credit to Laca’s team-mates for keeping his morale up. “That's the strikers. They live moments in their careers. They need support, they need confidence.

“That confidence and support came from me, but most importantly it came from his team-mates. The way they reacted when he scored, that was a lift. That's not just a coincidence.
