Arsenal's Player of the Season for 2018/19, Alex Lacazette has been struggling to replicate his form of last year this season. In 7 games played, the 28-year-old has scored just twice, against Tottenham and Burnley, both at home.

He suffered an ankle injury in mid-September this season, and his return to Premier League football has not been convincing at all. In a game where Arsenal had to win at all costs, the Frenchman missed a couple of chances inside the box, which he could've easily buried if he had a bit of composure and confidence in himself.

Though one could argue that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lacazette did not get enough service versus Leicester City, scoring the limited chances you get is the sign of a world-class striker. Lacazette had his chances, but his missed chances along with poor defending in the second half have cost Arsenal three very important points. He will have to take the pressure off Aubameyang's shoulder in the upcoming games and gradually improve his form, as Arsenal look to get back into contention for top four.
