'My team-mates' reaction really touched me'

Alex Lacazette couldn't contain his joy on Sunday evening.

The France international celebrated in style with his team-mates at Emirates Stadium, after ending his nine-game wait for a goal during our 4-0 win over Newcastle United.

It was Lacazette's seventh goal of a tough campaign but the 28-year-old is looking forward to kicking on in our next few fixtures.

"I am really, really happy because I waited for this moment for a long time," he said. "As well, I am touched because of the way all my team-mates reacted when I scored that goal. It means a lot to me and a lot for the spirit we have in the team.
