#4 Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal v Leicester City - Premier League
Lacazette was thrilled scoring on his debut goal

Alexandre Lacazette scored just 2 minutes into the game and became the 5th Arsenal player to score on Premier League debut under Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman smartly headed in Mohamed Elneny's cross, giving the Gunners a lead within the first 2 minutes. It was a brilliantly controlled header which gave Arsenal and their fans a dream start to the Premier League.

The player looked sharp and alert throughout the game, after scoring the goal. He came close to scoring another goal in the 83rd minute.

He came alive in the box and had a go at the post only to be denied by Kasper Schmeichel, which in turn gave the Gunners a corner. This set up Arsenal's 4th and winning goal, which was headed in by Giroud.

Lacazette has a long way to go but has shown positives from his first game. The Frenchman will take confidence from this game and will hope to keep up his performance for the rest of the season.
