Arsenal welcomed Emirates fans tonight for their Europa League tie against Rapid Vienna.
It is the first time that fans have been allowed into an English stadium in almost nine months and it was a real joy to hear the fans applaud the Arsenal players on the pitch.
Before kick-off, there were doubts as to whether the presence of supporters would propel the players during the game.
In the case of Alexandre Lacazette, they clearly did.
That’s because the Frenchman ended his recent goal drought with excellent style, whipping the ball with a deflected effort from 30 yards after just 10 minutes.
You can see his impressive attack below.
Lacazatte’s wonderful strike vs Rapid Vienna
What. A goal! The Rapid Vienna goalkeeper had no chance due to the movement of the ball in the air.
The sound of fans celebrating the goal is music to the ears, while the passionate celebration of Lacazette in front of them is also a joy to watch.
Soccer suddenly feels a little normal again, doesn’t it?
Arsenal quickly made it 2-0 after Lacazette’s stun, the return of Pablo Mari heading home in the 18th minute.
Just before the break, Eddie Nketiah made it 3-0 to cap off a wonderful first-half performance by Mikel Arteta.
