Alexandre Lacazette has struggled to find the net since returning from injury in October. In turn, his struggles have severely affected the team’s capability to win games, as the players have unfairly and solely relied on Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang to bail them out.

Today’s brace against Southampton was the 28-year-old’s first time hitting the net in seven games, since scoring in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

A lot has been made about the future of the Frenchman, with many stating that he’ll be gone in the summer if the Gunners don’t qualify for the Champions League. Well, if he doesn’t pick up his goalscoring form that will turn into reality soon, and it’ll be as much his fault as any of his teammates.

At the end of the day Lacazette is a £46.5million player, and three PL goals this season isn’t good enough. Arsenal fans will be hoping that they won’t have to wait for another seven games for the striker’s next goal.
