Martin Keown has admitted that he could not understand why Alexandre Lacazette did not start up front for Arsenal against Manchester City in the Premier League at The Etihad on Sunday.
The summer signing started on the bench for Arsene Wenger’s men and came on in the second half with the Gunners trailing 2-0.
Lacazette hit a brilliant finish to pull a goal back for the visitors, but Manchester City ended up claiming all three points after Gabriel Jesus netted a third goal.
