Arsenal dispatched Russian giants CSKA Moscow 4-1 at one as they continued their decent run of form in recent weeks. Following a 3-0 victory over Stoke City, the Gunners came into the match full of confidence.[spacer height=”30px”]

This was evident as they dealt a blow to the Russian (CSKA Moscow) Europa League ambitions with a 4-1 home win.[spacer height=”30px”]

The Russian gave themselves a life line in the match with a decent free-kick by arsenal target Golovin which sailed over the Arsenal wall and into the net as Petr Cech was well beaten in goal. That’s how it ended as the Gunners sealed a convincing 4-1 win at home.[spacer height=”30px”]

On this note, we evaluate the three possible lessons from the match as Arsenal prevailed on the (UEFA) Europa night.[spacer height=”30px”]

Impressive Alexander Lacazette[spacer height=”30px”]

The French striker was in superb form against the visiting side as he bagged a brace on the night.[spacer height=”30px”]

Fresh from his impressive appearance against Stoke City on Sunday, he scored from the Penalty spot before firing past the Russian goalkeeper within the course of the contest.[spacer height=”30px”]

Lacazette was given a confidence boost when he scored against Stoke City early in the week thanks to a Penalty which was presented to the French forward by fellow striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.[spacer height=”30px”]

[spacer height=”30px”]That confidence might have paid off as he coolly dispatched this one against CSKA Moscow before capping a brilliant performance on the night with his second goal (a brace) of high quality.[spacer height=”30px”]

This he did to the delight of the Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger as the French man was relieved of some level of pressure from his compatriot after finishing superbly in the wake of the 4-1 home win against CSKA.[spacer height=”30px”]
