Lacazette scored the opening goal with an improvised finish, his 9th ‘game-winning goal’ of the season per the Premier League’s definition, more than anyone else in the division. He also completed all five of his dribbles, won four out of five aerials duels and would’ve had a tap in for a second goal if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had found him late on.

Unfortunately, the striker also missed a great chance after being set up by Kolasinac and had a couple more opportunities to add to his tally. It didn’t matter in the end, but he probably could’ve had a hat-trick with more clinical finishing.
