Arsenal players jubilate Lacazette's goal

Bukayo Saka and Alexander Lacazette gave the Gunners a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux on Saturday, July 4, 2020.

 

 

It’s the first time the Gunners have won back-to-back away league games without reply since October 2015.

It was also the midfielder’s first goal after he put pen to paper to commit his future to the Gunners on Wednesday, July 1, 2020.

 

 

The 18-year-old winger broke the deadlock two minutes before half time, finishing superbly on the half-volley from Kieran Tierney's cross. 

Wolves were confident of an equalizer as they kept dominating in Arsenal’s half and pushed for the leveler. Adama Traore's lobbed finish dropped wide of a post as Wolves pushed for an equalizer.
