Arsene Wenger lauds Aubameyang and Lacazette partnership

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has applauded the partnership of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

Both players combined to hand the Gunners an early lead against Newcastle United in Sunday’s English Premier League game in their first start together.

Aubameyang assisted Lacazette who powered it home from close range for the opening goal. However, the Magpies fought back through Ayoze Perez and Matt Ritchie to secure a 2-1 victory.

Despite the defeat, the French tactician has taken positives from the game, praising the impacts of the attackers.

“They were dangerous and I felt what we missed in the first half is just to score a second goal,” Wenger told club website.
