Arsenal: The logic behind starting Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal 1-0 Qarabag: On to the knockout rounds
Arsenal’s prospects impress as the Gunners finish the group stage unbeaten. Alexandre Lacazette’s goal in the 16th minute was all Arsenal needed to defeat Qarabag FK and cap off an unbeaten group stage in the Europa League. Several prospects performed well, while Mesut Ozil and Laurent Koscielny played nearly the entire game in their returns from injury. Highlights: 17-year old Bakuyo Saka had a few great chances to score in his first start for the club, including just a few minutes in, but his curled left-footed shot from the edge of the box was parried away by Vagner da Silva, the...
