Arsenal striker Lacazette: We've problems managing games

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette admits his team have problems managing leads.

The Gunners were dominant against a ten-man Tottenham on Sunday, but almost conceded a late equaliser when their opponents turned up the pressure.

"They were really stressful," Lacazette said of the final few moments. "This is our problem when we are winning, we have some problems managing the game at the end.

"Even 11 against 10, this is where we have to improve a lot. In the end we won and we need to appreciate the three points and think about Thursday.

"We wanted to win this game for us, for the team and as well for the fans. I think they're happy, we missed them today in the stadium but it was really important for us to win the derby. For us it's really good for the rest of the season."
