The story behind Lacazette's celebration

It’s becoming rather a familiar sight this season: Alexandre Lacazette scoring at Emirates Stadium.

We’ve seen plenty of what is quickly becoming his trademark celebration in recent weeks, but what does it mean?

“It was based on a bet with a friend of mine who really likes music that involves trumpets,” Lacazette told Arsenal Player.



“It was a joke between the two of us. That’s how it all started, it was all a bet. I’ve just kept doing it and I really like it. 

“The first time was in a friendly: Lyon against Sporting Lisbon, I believe, and then I did it in the league at Nancy.”
