Lacazette goal vs Fulham: Brilliant link-up play from Arsenal gives them 2-0 lead

Lacazette goal vs Fulham: Alexandre Lacazette doubled the lead for Arsenal against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal are currently 5th in the league. The side has had a shaky few weeks, and suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

However, Arsenal made a strong comeback against Fulham at Emirates Stadium. The side took a 1-0 lead in the first half through Granit Xhaka.

Earlier, Mesut Ozil continued to remain absent from Arsenal’s matchday squad, while Hector Bellerin, who was speculated to return for the game, remained unavailable.

Alexandre Lacazette gave Arsenal the lead in a perfect team goal in the second half.

The goal came from a throw-in, as Aubameyang fed Kolasinac, who pulled the pass back for Lacazette.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Lacazette’s performance:

Arsenal eventually registered a 4-1 win against Fulham in their first game of 2019. Alexandre Lacazette was substituted after he scored the goal, for Aaron Ramsey.

The Welshman scored Arsenal’s third goal of the game, and Aubameyang rounded off a perfect start to the new year for the Gunners with a brilliant finish to secure three points for the side.

With this win, Arsenal are now only two points behind Chelsea, who will play Southampton tomorrow night. They also increase the gap with Manchester United to six points, who will line up against Newcastle.

Unai Emery’s side will now be in action in the FA Cup this weekend, where they take on Blackpool.
