ARSENAL swept aside London rivals Brentford in their pursuit for the top four.
Hale End Academy youngster’s Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka fired the Gunners to a 2-1 win.
But Christian Norgaard’s stoppage time constellation goal, put a minor blip on the performance.
Shortly after the game, Alexandre Lacazette took to social media to take a dig at Ivan Toney’s criticism comments from earlier on in the season.
The Gunners captain tweeted: “Nice kick about with the boys” with a kiss emoji and tagging the Arsenal official account.
Granit Xhaka was involved in more captaincy issues when he refused to take the armband from Eddie Nketiah.
Mikel Arteta later cleared up the mishap by stating that it was a moment of confusion as Kieran Tierney is next in line to skipper the side and it has nothing to do with Xhaka’s commitment issues.
Arsenal lost out Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus in January and it has been revealed that the hot prospects agents were pushing for a move to the Serie A giants all along.
Lucas Torreira was set to be involved in a swap deal to land Vlahovic which eventually fell through.
And Torrira’s agent mentioned that: “Fiorentina wanted to sell him, but the agents said he had to go to Juventus – you always do what the player wants.”
