Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette admits he's had a tough time having failed to score for two months before Sunday.

Lacazette scored his first goal since the start of December in Arsenal's win over Newcastle and says he was “touched" by the reaction of his team mates as they celebrated with him.

Lacazette said: “I am really, really happy because I waited for this moment for a long time.

"As well, I am touched because of the way all my team-mates reacted when I scored that goal.

"It means a lot to me and a lot for the spirit we have in the team. This is good.

"It was really hard and complicated, because sometimes I had some games with no chances, sometimes I missed or the goalkeeper saved it.

"Of course for a striker it is always hard to not score, but it happens in football. Hopefully it is the last time for me."
