​Arsenal striker Lacazette: Of course I'm frustrated on the bench | OneFootball

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette admits he is not happy at sitting on the bench for games.

The French forward has been in and out of the team under the management of Mikel Arteta so far this season.

Lacazette came off the bench to great effect against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday.

His stoppage time second half goal secured a point for the Gunners in a 2-2 draw, when they were heading for defeat.

Asked about not playing enough, Lacazette said: "Yes of course, it's never easy to be on the bench, you always want to play and bring something to the team.

"This is what I tried to do."

On making an immediate impact, he added: "Yes, I wanted to bring a bit of energy to the team.

"We know when the fans in the stadium are alive and with us, it makes it hard for the opponent.

"Maybe because of the way we were playing at that moment, they were a bit sleepy, so I wanted to just bring some energy that I know they like, and to change the game."
