Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s defeat to BATE Borisov on Thursday evening.

The Gunners have suffered a 1-0 defeat to BATE away from home in the first leg of their Europa League round of 32.

Stanislav Dragun scored the only goal of the match on the stroke of half time, as Alyaksey Baha’s side have given themselves a genuine chance of progressing further in the competition.

Lacazette started the match on Thursday evening, and the Arsenal forward was sent off five minutes before the full-time whistle for elbowing Aleksandar Filipovic.

The 27-year-old France international forward has apologised on Twitter for getting dismissed, and he believes that Unai Emery’s side will progress to the last-16 stage of the Europa league this season.

The Gunners will take on BATE at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the second leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie next week.
