Here are the Twitter reactions on Lacazette and Aubameyang combing to win it for Arsenal.
Arsenal played Valencia in the first leg of the Champions League at the Emirates Stadium and won the game 3-1. The Gunners had to work hard for the victory after facing an early issue.
As above-mentioned sentence reads, the visitors caused plenty of chances early in the first half of the game. They had a glorious chance through the set-piece when Rodrigo found the defender Ezequiel Garay, who failed to hit the target inside an open net from two-yards out. They got the much-deserved goal through their defender Mouctar Diakhaby.
Set piece routine worked to perfection and the French defender tucked the ball inside the back of the net. Seven minutes later, Arsenal’s Aubameyang broke through a counter-attack and passed the ball to Lacazette, who had the simpler task to tap-in after the goalkeeper got dragged by the Gabonese International.
Within half an hour mark, Alexandre Lacazette got the lead for Arsenal for the first time in the game. The Frenchman was unmarked inside the penalty box and he had to tuck the ball inside the back of the net, thereby handing no chance for the goalkeeper Neto.
For the rest of the game, the Gunners were in supreme control and did not give away cheap possessions to Valencia. During the stoppage time, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang found the back of the net when Sead Kolasinac’s cross found him. Arsenal’s leading scorer drifted away from the defender and used an immense technique to find the back of the net.
That goal in the injury time has put Arsenal in the driving seat in this tie. But, their away form has been poor, to say the least.
We shall look at the Twitter reactions between these two sides.
