ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED BY ARSENAL 24-YEAR-OLD IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST NIGHT
A certain English side might have crashed out of Europe altogether on Tuesday, but Arsenal flew the flag for England by finishing top of Group B.
Mikel Arteta’s side had already qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, so it was a case of a much-changed Arsenal team travelling to the Netherlands and securing a 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven.
One of the men who was handed a start was Eddie Nketiah and he rewarded his manager by scoring the first Champions League goal of his career.
A natural goalscorer and a poacher in the penalty area, that’s another player from Arsenal’s Hale-End academy who is shining bright on European football’s biggest stage.
After the game, Eddie Nketiah expressed his delight on Instagram at scoring his first UCL goal by adding that he is now ‘looking forward to the knockout rounds’.
In the comments section of the 24-year-old’s IG post, several players were left impressed by the Arsenal hitman, including his former teammate Alexandre Lacazette.
The Lyon forward sent several fire emojis to the player, as well as applauding his efforts.

Arsenal looking to re-claim top spot in the Premier League
That defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday was a bitter pill to swallow for Arteta and his players.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are now sitting top of the Premier League tree and you imagine they will remain at the summit because they face out-of-sorts Manchester United on Sunday at Anfield.
But hours before that fixture, Arsenal will have a chance to go to the top of the table when they welcome Brighton to the Emirates.
The Seagulls themselves are in European action, with a tasty Europa League showdown against Marseille on Thursday.
