In becoming the 59th player to make 100 appearances for the Gunners in the Premier League, Alexandre Lacazette also became the first player to score in their opening three games of a Premier League season since Olivier Giroud in 2013-14. They failed in their attempt to win their opening three games in a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2004-05.
