ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE was fuming as he was subbed with ten minutes to go by Unai Emery in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Burnley.
After setting up Pierre Emerick Aubameyang for his second goal against the Clarets, the French star took out his frustrations on the sideline as he made way for Alex Iwobi.

Lacazette could be seen passionately gesticulating to coaching staff and took his time taking his seat.
After an impressive performance, fans were surprised at Emery's decision to sub the forward while supporters at the Emirates gave the French star a standing ovation for his contributions.
The 27-year-old was involved in Arsenal's quick counter-attack and teed up Aubameyang to lash the ball home to make it 2-0.
The pair are becoming a force to be reckoned with, they now have combined for five Premier League goals.

So it is understandable that he was frustrated at being subbed, as it denied him the chance to put his own name on the scoresheet in the remaining twelve minutes.
However, Emery's decision was proved a wise one with Iwobi scoring in the 91st minute to make it 3-1.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright took to Twitter to empathise with the forward, he said: "Laca obviously disappointed. As a striker you know when there are still goals out there- game is stretched and he wants to score!!"
Fans agreed with Wright and were just happy that Lacazette was so passionate.
One Gunners' fan was just glad that the forward showed how much he cared.
