This Alexandre Lacazette goal vs Fulham saw the French striker score the first goal of the 20/21 Premiership season, opening the scoring for the Gunners with a tap in on 9 minutes. Some very poor Fulham defending against Arsenal (from Tim Ream in particular), and their inability to clear their lines cost them here. An easy finish- nothing spectacular, but a nice one for the trivia guys.
