ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE capped off a brilliant Arsenal move to fire his side ahead against Sheffield United.
The Frenchman slotted past Aaron Ramsdale after the Gunners carved open the Blades’ defence with some scintillating build-up play.
Thomas Partey found Lacazette who played it first time into the path of Bukayo Saka.
He fed Dani Ceballos whose delightful backheel landed into Lacazette’s path and he made no mistake from 12-yards.
It was his 14th of the season and arguably one of his best.
The BT Sport commentators were left in awe of the passing move and suggested it was a throwback to the football played in the glory days under Arsene Wenger.
Commentator Darren Fletcher said: “That’s a fantastic goal, absolutely brilliant.
“Incisive short passing football and a clinical finish by Alexandre Lacazette.
“It’s the kind of goal that would make Arsene Wenger raise a glass on Sunday evening if he’s seen it because that was straight from the Wenger textbook.

“It was a super, super goal from Lacazette.”
Co-commentator Steve McManaman added: “It was a lovely slick one-touch passing move. Ceballos flick, and a great touch by Lacazette.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.”
Gabriel Martinelli fired the Gunners two ahead in the 2nd half before Lacazette pounced for his second, and 50th in the Premier League, to seal the route.
Speaking after the 3-0 win, boss Mikel Arteta said: “I’m really happy with the performance.
“We scored some really nice goals and controlled the game the way we wanted. We played at a high level I think.”
