#1 Alexandre Lacazette’s hold up play
Alexandre Lacazette put in a man of the match performance against Leeds. Despite not scoring and only having two shots on target, the Frenchman put in a workman-like center-forward display. He put in the hard work that a lot of today’s modern strikers do not. Forwards like Harry Kane and Mauro Icardi save their bursts of energy for the final third, not Lacazette, he works in all phases of the pitch.
In a tireless performance, the 28-year-old won 3 tackles, 2 aerial duels, completed 2 successful take ons, 23 passes, created 2 chances and attempted 3 shots. The stats clearly show the Frenchman put in a holistic display on the pitch, not scared to get his hands dirty. As captain of the side, Lacazette led from the front and took on the manager’s demanding instructions at half time.
