Arsenal produced an impressive comeback as they came from a 3-0 deficit to claim a 3-3 draw at West Ham United.
Jesse Lingard crashed the hosts up front, before his swiftly thrown free kick gave Jarrod Bowen second.
Tomas Soucek pitched the third to leave Arsenal reeling, but they were back in the game as Alexandre Lacazette’s punch hit Soucek and he entered.
Lacazette has a hooked effort down the line as he was still a threat, and when Craig Dawson crashed into his own net, Lacazette stepped up to salvage a point.
The Frenchman headed home with a cross from Nicolas Pepe to give Arsenal an unlikely share of the loot, which was well deserved given his performance.
Fans took to Twitter to share their love for the forward, claiming he was “exceptional” and “incredible” against West Ham.

Others now called for Lacazette to start each week, believing that he should be chosen ahead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the top.
Some even hope that Arsenal fans will now realize how important Lacazette is, having been critical of him.

Lacazette should start each game on top, period. Even when he doesn’t score, he offers so much more than Auba or anyone else with his waiting and passing game. #Arsenal

I hope everyone has realized why we should not sell Lacazette

Lacazette deserves to play ahead of Auba right now.

Lacazette should be our starting CF for the rest of the season. Our attacking game with him is fluid and he works much harder than # 14.

Lacazette steps up many times this season.
Quality player.

Lacazette was exceptional today. It reminded me of Lacazette 18/19

Lacazette today was my MOTM. What a performance of him. He wrote down when we needed him most. Auba, on the other hand, needs to fix
