Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has issued an apology to fans following his red card against BATE Borisov.
The Gunners lost the first leg of their Europa League last 32 clash 1-0 in Belarus.
Unai Emery’s side can turn it around at the Emirates in a week’s time, but must now do it without one of their star men.
Lacazette has netted 12 goals in all competitions this season, was dismissed in the 85th minute for elbowing Aleksandar Filipovic. And the Frenchma admits he ‘let the team down’ with his moment of frustration.
‘Letting the team down like that is the worst feeling,’ Lacazette posted on Twitter.
‘I should have stayed calm but it’s not always easy. Sorry.
‘There are still 90 minutes to play and I believe that my teammates will make it to the next round.’
The Gunners will still feel confident of having enough in next week’s second leg to progress, but they have made their task considerably harder than it might otherwise have been.
