Danny Welbeck scored two and beautifully set up another to secure the three points for Arsenal.
Arsenal’s record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has urged Arsene Wenger to pair him with fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette.
Aubemeyang has scored six goals in his first seven games for the Gunners, but his January arrival from Borussia Dortmund saw Lacazette dropped to the bench before the France striker was then sidelined by injury.
Lacazette is back to fitness but looks set to be used mainly in the Europa League, in which Aubameyang is cup-tied, with the Frenchman having been on the bench…

Danny Welbeck scored two and beautifully set up another to secure the three points for Arsenal.

It’s been a long time since Arsenal regularly lined up with two strikers. You probably have to go back a decade to a brief period when Arsene Wenger rotated Robin van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor and Eduardo da Silva in a front pairing. However, there have been hints in the last few weeks that Wenger is toying with the idea of playing with two genuine forwards once more.

The most recent example came during Arsenal’s 3-2 Premier League victory over struggling Southampton on Sunday. It wasn’t quite…

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and right-back Hector Bellerin keep their feet on the ground after gunners’ 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.

Following their dominant victory over CSKA Moscow, the ESPN FC panel discuss what it will take for Arsenal to win the Europa League.

Alexandre Lacazette is ready to show Arsenal supporters what they have been missing as he dreams of lifting the Europa League in his former home of Lyon.
The 26-year-old striker scored a brace in Arsenal’s comfortable 4-1 quarterfinal first-leg win over CSKA Moscow on Thursday night. With Aaron Ramsey also weighing in with a couple of goals, the Gunners seem on course to secure a last-four spot when they travel to Russia for the return leg next week.
Lacazette was making his first start since January…

Arsenal will be unhappy to have conceded at home but go into leg two with a more than comfortable lead over CSKA Moscow.

LONDON, England — Three thoughts on Arsenal’s 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow in their Europa League quarterfinal, first leg, at the Emirates.

1. Arsenal put one foot in Europa League semifinals

Arsenal have almost certain to reach the Europa League semifinals and even by their standards, it would take some capitulation to overturn their 4-1 advantage in next Thursday’s second leg against CSKA Moscow. Two goals from Aaron Ramsey and a pair from Alexandre Lacazette (one a penalty) adorned a match whose…

Arsene Wenger was unhappy with Arsenal’s first half performance against Stoke City on Sunday despite a 3-0 win.
LONDON — Arsene Wenger is seeing a sharper Alexandre Lacazette in training these days, and says it’s clear the France striker “was not himself” in the weeks before his knee surgery.
Lacazette returned to full training last week after six weeks out following a minor operation on his knee, and marked his comeback by scoring a penalty in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Stoke on Sunday after coming on as a substitute.
That was only his second goal since Dec. 2 as he had struggled for form before his operation…

After a dour first half, Arsenal found their footing and downed Stoke behind goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

After a dour first half, Arsenal found their footing and downed Stoke behind goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

A “rotten apple” was how Germany great Matthias Sammer described Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang prior to his move to Arsenal. But rather than spreading poison to the rest of the barrel on Sunday at the Emirates, the striker was only too happy sharing goals around.

Chasing his first hat trick in England, Aubameyang selflessly stepped aside to allow Alexandre Lacazette to score a late penalty and put the seal on a 3-0 win over Stoke. “I knew that Laca is back,” he said. “I’d scored twice so I let him…

After a dour first half, Arsenal found their footing and downed Stoke behind goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

Arsenal’s big money strike pair proved to be the difference as the Gunners recorded a 3-0 victory over Stoke City. The scoreline was enormously flattering but those Arsenal fans who did attend a far-from-packed Emirates Stadium will have been pleased to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette come good.

Positives

It’s a big boost for Arsenal to see Lacazette back in action and back on the scoresheet. With Aubameyang cup-tied for the Europa League, Arsenal will be reliant on the…

ESPN FC’s Bundesliga correspondent Raf Honigstein reveals the latest on Thomas Tuchel’s links to Bayern Munich, Arsenal, PSG and Chelsea.
There’s little left to play for in the Premier League this season for Arsenal. They’re unlikely to finish any higher or lower than the sixth position they find themselves in at this moment.
Yet there are still things to be gained from the final eight games, starting with Stoke on Sunday. The fans have had little to cheer about domestically this campaign, and by any standards performances have been poor and the team have underachieved. So, the potential pleasures are small and may come as much from…

ESPN FC’s Bundesliga correspondent Raf Honigstein reveals the latest on Thomas Tuchel’s links to Bayern Munich, Arsenal, PSG and Chelsea.

Stewart Robson says Arsenal’s comfortable win over AC Milan should give them the confidence to beat CSKA Moscow.
It will not have escaped Alexandre Lacazette’s attention that, if everything goes to plan for Arsenal, the season will finish with a showpiece night in Lyon. The city of the striker’s birth. The club where he scored 129 goals in 275 appearances. The host city for the Europa League final on May 16.

There is a lot of football to be played before Lacazette can start ringing his childhood friends and arranging an early summer reunion but, as the striker returns to contention this weekend after finally…
