Alexandre Lacazette hailed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after scoring in Arsenal's victory over Newcastle.

The Frenchman was set free by a header from Aubameyang and delicately lobbed Martin Dubravka to seal a 2-0 win and move the Gunners into third place.

"I think we are important for the team," Lacazette told Sky Sports after the game.

"Like other players, but Auba scores many goals.

"I try to do the same, to help him to score as many goals as he can, and he does the same for me as well.

"We have to do the same to help the team to score a lot of goals to win and go to the Champions League."
