Frustration was starting to creep in at Emirates Stadium on Sunday as we struggled to make the breakthrough against Sunday.
We needed someone to step up with something special - and that man was Alex Lacazette who scored with a rocket in the 53rd minute.
The France international discussed his strike and the thinking behind it after the match, and this is what he told the media:
on his goal...
Yes [I knew where I wanted it to go] because we work on it a lot in training so when I'm in this area, I know where I have to shoot.
on his first thought being to get it out from under his feet...
Yes, because the first touch is most important when it comes to scoring a goal so I did my best with the control.
on Petr Cech's performance...
[We owe him] big, big thanks because he stopped a lot of goals and for the first time we kept a clean sheet.
on him and Auba having 193 goals between them in the last three seasons...
[It's down to] work, work, a lot of work!
