Alexandre Lacazette is not happy with the Premier League and who can blame him?
The Premier League have decided that Alexandre Lacazette’s goal was actually an own goal, chalking off the strike from the forward’s tally for the season.
They were quick to tweet their decision after the final whistle:
After review, Arsenal's second goal is adjudged as a Marcos Rojo own goal https://t.co/nQSbfGmBuw

And Lacazette replied:

So whose goal was it?
Lacazette can feel rightly aggrieved at the goal being given to Rojo, especially after his strike that was ruled out at Stoke.
Twitter very quickly showed that Lacazette had indeed got the final touch or, if he hadn’t, it was so hard to tell there is no way they should have given it as an OG.
Yes he does I’ll slow it down for the panel they seem to be struggling, I am willing to work for your panel free of charge, we can cancel out a few of harry Kanes in the process pic.twitter.com/idamCIQ1aR

Arsenal fans were quick to recall the Harry Kane hilarity when the Tottenham striker claimed a goal he didn’t even touch yet the Premier League still gave it to him.

Also does the panel remember this goal you awarded to Harry Kane vs stoke when it didn’t even nearly touch his head. https://t.co/bIwFbJC7In@Arsenal do you what you need to do here, laca got squashed by two players to earn this one, no question about it.

The goal should have been Lacazette’s eighth of the season in the league (9th in all comps), taking him to joint-third place in this season’s Golden Boot race, one behind Harry Kane and two being Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
As it stands, he is currently joint-seventh.
