'Alexandre Lacazette is an expensive Emile Heskey' - Arsenal fans despair after striker's inept performance against Tottenham

After joining Arsenal from Olympique Lyonnais in the summer, much was expected of Alexandre Lacazette.

The France international scored 100 goals in 203 games and earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most deadly finishers.

However, since arriving in north London the 26-year-old has seen his career fizzle out after a bright start.

During Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Tottenham at Wembley, Lacazette came off the bench and missed two clear-cut chances you would have expected a striker of his pedigree to put away.

The Gunners were left to rue the misses as Spurs held on to claim all three points.
