Arsenal goalscorer Lacazette: I'm desperate to reach final

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette was pleased with his goal in their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.

Lacazette put Arsenal ahead before Antoine Griezmann grabbed a late equaliser in the first-leg of their Europa League semifinal.

The Frenchman said afterwards: "It was a great goal to score after the ball from Jack (Wilshere) and I'm happy to do my job."

Asked about the prospect of playing the final in his hometown of Lyon, he said: "I really want to play in the final.

"Maybe I'm the player who wants it the most in the team, but we have to work hard to achieve that."
