Pepe tacks in from the right for the umpteenth time and lays the ball in to the feet of Lacazette. He returns it and Pepe, all one-touch this move, sweeps a pass to the feet of Nketiah in the D. The striker turns rapidly and wraps a right-foot shot into the advertising hoardings about a foot wide of the right post.
Lacazette and Nelson waste shooting chances with too many touches around the box. There’s a tentativeness that a finisher of the Arsenal captain’s pedigree should not suffer from.
