Alexandre Lacazette scores in debut as Arsenal defeat Sydney FCMARK METCALFE/GETTY IMAGES Alexandre Lacazette scored in the 83rd minute against Sydney FC, just 15 minutes after entering the match, his debut for new club Arsenal. It took Alexandre Lacazette just 15 minutes to justify his NZ$93 million price tag, scoring on debut in Arsenal's 2-0 defeat of A-League champions Sydney FC in their first pre-season hitout.
