Published: December 22, 2018

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette was not happy that he was replaced by Alex Iwobi in the 78th minute of their 3-1 win over Burnley at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

The Frenchman provided a crucial assist for the Gunners second goal scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when he combined with Kolasinac to release the Gabonese frontman in the 48th minute.

Speaking to reporters at the post match press conference, Gunners boss Unai Emery said that Lacazette was desperate to get on the score-sheet before making way for iwobi.

''I didn’t see that. I think he is happy with our victory. He wants to score. When a striker doesn’t score I like he is angry with this situation,'' said Emery.

''He worked very well today. I think he is going back to the best Lacazette. ''

Another brave substitution paid off for Unai Emery with Iwobi scoring the Gunners' third goal in the first minute of stoppage time.
