Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says a consistent run of games is behind Alexandre Lacazette's return to form.

The Frenchman scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Southampton, taking his tally to five goals in his six last Premier League appearances.

Asked why Lacazette's form had improved, Arteta replied: The team dynamic since then is better and he's found his form.

"He's having more consecutive games where he's starting and he's scoring goals.

"I think that's a really strong combination for any player, and in particular for a goalscorer like him. He needs to be on the scoresheet."
