In Arsenal's match with Sheffield United, Gunners fans were treated to a goal of the highest quality.
Alexandre Lacazette finished a team move that was straight out of the peak years of Arsene Wenger.
On the edge of the box, Bukayo Saka played a quick pass to the French striker, who knocked the ball off to on-loan Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.
A beautiful flick put Lacazette back in, he took a touch to open his body and slid the ball past Aaron Ramsdale in the Blades net.

Arsenal fans reaction
Across social media, Arsenal fans reacted with delight at a goal that shows the Dr Jekyll side of this side of two faces.
Darren Fletcher (BT Sport commentator) on Lacazette’s goal: “It’s the kind of goal that would make Arsène Wenger raise a glass on a Sunday evening if he’s seen it because it’s straight from the Wenger textbook.” [BT] #afc
