Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette forced to take drug test and jokes it’s only because he scored twice against West Brom
Frenchman had to wait around after bagging a brace at the Emirates to provide a urine sample
ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE was Arsenal's two-goal hero against West Brom — and joked that is why he got drug tested.
The French international scored either side of half time to secure the Gunners the three points.
And Lacazette, 26, was then selected for a random post-match drug test after securing Arsenal's 100 per cent home record this season.
And the former Lyon man joked he was being singled out after netting a brace.
Lacazette posted: "2 goals so.. doping control ?? well done guys #AFCWBA #Coyg #Arsenal"
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has heaped praise on his £52million striker after he continued his goalscoring exploits.
Wenger said: "I believe that he is getting stronger in every game.
"He is young and just arrived in England. The physical demands are very high.

"Technically, he is intelligent and you can see on the free-kick, he was there for the rebound like all good strikers are."
Two-goal Lacazette became the first Arsenal player to score in his first three league matches at home since Brian Marwood.
But Wenger was also quick to big up the defensive performance of Mohammed Elneny and Nacho Monreal.
Wenger added: “[Monreal and Elneny] were outstanding, both of them.
“I am pleased for both of them of course, but especially for Elneny because he has not always played, but what he did tonight was very positive.
“The two of them are top players who have a fantastic mentality.”
