For his goal alone, Alexandre Lacazette deserved a spot in Garth Crooks' team of the week
Lacazette finished superbly to give Arsenal a second-half lead
against Everton on Sunday afternoon, curling his shot into the corner of Jordan Pickford's goal via the inside of the post.
While Crooks acknowledged the quality of the French striker's goal in his piece for the
BBC, he wasn't too impressed with what followed. The former Lyon forward marked the goal with the celebration seen in the tweet below, something which didn't sit well with Crooks.

'In the end, one goal was enough to win the game against Everton, and when you score a superb goal like Alexandre Lacazette's one for Arsenal, you are entitled to celebrate,' Crooks writes.
'What I don’t get is the appalling disco jig that follows. Why spoil such a wonderful finish with such a spine-chilling dance? What's wrong with punching the air or running to the crowd?'
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang swiftly followed Lacazette's opener with Aresenal's second, turning home despite appearing to have been clearly offside when the ball was played to him.
The Gabonese striker's goal was the final one of the game, sealing a victory which leaves Arsenal with their fifth consecutive win in all competitions. They return to league action with a game at home to Watford next weekend but will first host Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
