Alexandre Lacazette scored twice as Arsenal further
eased their early season struggles by thrashing West Brom 4-0 at a
snow covered Hawthorns on Saturday.

After seven Premier League games without a win, the Gunners have
now won three in a week to dampen talk of a relegation fight and
move back into contention for the European places.

Kieran Tierney’s stunning solo goal opened the floodgates as Sam
Allardyce’s men have now conceded nine times in two games.

Bukayo Saka rounded off a brilliant team move to double the
visitors’ lead before Lacazette struck twice in four second-half
minutes.

West Brom are yet to win in four games since Allardyce took
charge and the former England manager needs to quickly instill the
defensive discipline he has made his trademark at previous clubs if
the Baggies are to have any chance of survival.


(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Just over a week ago Allardyce said Arsenal were in a battle
against the drop, but Mikel Arteta’s decision to finally put faith
in his crop of talented youngsters has turned his side’s season
around.

Saka was again the shining light, while Tierney and Emile Smith
Rowe also impressed.

Arsenal’s poor run was principally caused by a struggle to score
goals, but they were a threat from the off despite the treacherous
conditions.

Sam Johnstone denied Hector Bellerin and Saka inside the first
10 minutes, but he was powerless to stop Tierney’s stunning opener
on 23 minutes.

The Scotland international left Darnell Furlong trailing in his
wake before cutting inside onto his weaker right foot and curling
into the top corner.

Arsenal’s second was reminiscent of their flowing football at
the height of the Arsene Wenger era as Saka fed Lacazette, whose
brilliant pass played Smith Rowe in behind the West Brom defence
and he squared for Saka to tap into an empty net.

The one way traffic continued after the break and some comical
West Brom defending led to the third as Semi Ajayi smashed a
dangerous cross off his own post and the ball broke to Lacazette to
apply a simple finish.

Moments later another raid from Tierney down the left teed up
Lacazette for another finish from point-blank range.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has missed out on Arsenal’s return to
scoring form over the past eight days as he turned a glorious
chance from Willian’s mishit shot over before Johnstone produced
another fine save from the Gunners’ captain.

However, four goals were more than enough to prove Arsenal’s
return to form as they moved to within six points of the top four
with two favourable fixtures against Crystal Palace and Newcastle
to come.

West Brom on the other hand remain six points adrift of safety
and showing little sign of life since Allardyce’s arrival.
