Bukayo Saka has paid tribute to Alex Lacazette after our captain helped set him up for his goal in our victory against Watford on Sunday.
Our No 7 put us 2-1 in front after combining well with our French striker, who laid the ball back into his path for him to score his ninth goal of the campaign.
"That’s what we work on every day, the high press," Saka told Arsenal Media. "As soon as I won it, I found Laca and he knows my movement and where I am.
"It’s so fun to play with him. He put that ball in the perfect spot for me and it was just down to me to finish. I finished well.
"I feel much more confident [in front of goal] - but I still have a long way to go in terms of where I want to be in front of goal. Just to keep trying, that’s the only way I can improve. I’ll miss some and I’ll score some and I’ll just learn from them.
"I do set myself targets but at the same time, I just want to win each game. If I don’t score but we win, it’s better for the team. That’s the best way to think about it and at the end of the season, we’ll achieve big things like this."
