Carabao Cup: Lacazette demands explanation from Emery for dropping Ozil in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham
Arsenal striker, Alexandre Lacazette has called on manager, Unai Emery to explain why he dropped playmaker, Mesut Ozil in Gunners’ 2-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup quarter-final encounter on Wednesday night.
Goals from Son Heung-min and Dele Alli ensured Mauricio Pochettino’s side defeated Arsenal at Emirates.
Lacazette took to his Twitter page following Arsenal’s defeat to Spurs to ask Emery to explain why he dropped Ozil for fellow teammates, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi.
“Dropping fit Ozil for Mkhitaryan and Iwobi two games in a row for ‘tactical reasons’ is a disgrace if you ask me. This needs huge explanation,” Lacazette tweeted after Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.
Arsenal will now tackle Burnley on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League fixture at Emirates.
