Arsenal striker Lacazette reveals he planned Everton stunner

Alexandre Lacazette only had one thing on his mind when picking up the ball in the box against Everton on Sunday.

The fixture goalless in the second half, Lacazette curled home a precise finish into the top corner to break the deadlock.

He told the club's website: "Yes [I knew where I wanted it to go] because we work on it a lot in training so when I'm in this area, I know where I have to shoot."

Asked if his first thought was to get the ball out from under his feet, Lacazette added: "Yes, because the first touch is most important when it comes to scoring a goal so I did my best with the control."
