Ozil almost got his first assist for Lacazette after playing the powerful striker in with a delightful, defence splitting pass.
Close but no cigar.

First link up between Ozil and Lacazette, don’t know how the keeper saved that!

Good signs there despite the miss. Ozil and Lacazette on the same wavelength.

On the flip side of the argument there were others who thought Lacazette should have done better and found the back of the net.
If that was Giroud, you would be slating him for about an hour after that shot! ??

He should’ve score that tho…

Should of buried it poor finish
— Matty McG (@mattmcgrathsm7) July 19, 2017
because the shot was right next to him rather than on the other side where there was half an empty net. hope not another 1 footed striker
