Alexandre Lacazette continued his impressive start to his Arsenal career with a double against West Brom.

The Frenchman scored in either half as the Gunners continued their recovery from a rocky start to the Premier League season.

He headed home a rebound after Alexis Sanchez's free-kick was palmed on to the bar, and then converted a penalty after Aaron Ramsey was fouled in the box.

Lacazette was replaced by countryman Olivier Giroud late on as his goals ensured Arsene Wenger's men climbed to seventh.

Here, we rate the players from both sides at the Emirates.
