Alexandre Lacazette got off the mark for Arsenal just 15 minutes into his debut for his new club after coming on as a substitute in the side’s 2-0 pre-season victory over Sydney FC on Thursday.
The France striker completed a club-record £52million move to the Emirates earlier this month and started on the bench for the Gunners’ opening fixture on tour in Australia.
Per Mertesacker scored Arsenal’s first goal before the break but Arsenal fans were patiently waiting for Lacazette’s arrival – and Arsene Wenger gave them what they wanted as the forward came on midway through the second-half.
The ex-Lyon man showed some nice touches immediately after entering the field and fired home his first ever Arsenal goal in the 84th minute.
Alex Iwobi’s pinpont cross to Lacazette from the right flank was finished effortlessly by the Frenchman who then wheeled off to celebrate with his new team-mates.
