When Arsenal fell 3-0 to Crystal Palace, a worrying stat about his number 9 came to light in the closing stages.
The Gunners never actually showed up at Selhurst Park in front of a raucous home crowd, falling behind early when Jean Philippe Mateta headed in after a set piece. The Eagles continued to dominate the first half and, thanks to poor defense from Gabriel and Nuno Tavares, Jordan Ayew was able to double the lead for Patrick Vieira’s team after 25 minutes. him wriggling free to shoot home from the edge of the box.

Firmly second-best in the first half, the Gunners improved a bit in the second 45 but spurned their precious few chances as they looked for a way to get back into the game. A foul by Martin Odegaard 15 minutes from time summed up the Norwegian’s performance, as he conceded a penalty that was coolly converted by Wilfried Zaha, giving Palace a memorable victory and denting all four of Arsenal’s hopes.
The Lacazette statistic emerges
And, in the wake of the thrashing, a worrying stat has emerged about Alexandre Lacazette, Arsenal’s focal point.
This comes via Arsenal fan and Twitter statistician @orbinho, who claims that it has now been over 17 hours of football since the Frenchman last scored in an open game.

The 30-year-old has scored just four times this season for the Gunners, though he has provided 7 assists. However, his last goal from open play in the top flight came against Southampton on December 12, showing an area the Gunners clearly need to improve this summer.
Whether their performances can still help them to fourth place before their contract expires remains to be seen.
