Alexandre Lacazette offered to beat Arsenal on Thursday night in a late Premier League game against Wolverhampton (2-1). After extra time, a cross from the Frenchman, deflected into his own net by Jose Sa, made three decisive points for Arsenal.
Alexandre Lacazette as Savior. Arsenal, who were humiliated by Wolverhampton in the late game of the 20th day of the English Premier League on Thursday night, managed to snatch the three winning points thanks to the French striker after extra time (2-1).
At 90+5, the former OL striker plays with the defense after one very nice match with Nicolas Pepe. From a tight angle, he tried to pass in front of the goal towards Bukayo Saka. Jose Sa is on the right track, but the poor Portuguese goalkeeper from Wolverhampton cashes the ball to his cages.
