Arsenal’s official Twitter account shared a picture of Shkodran Mustafi getting his own back on Alexandre Lacazette in training yesterday.
The German international was whacked by the Frenchman during the celebrations for the opening goal against Cardiff on Sunday, and it seems like the defender is keen to even the score:

Fans on Twitter jokingly remarked that the pair should face each other in the ring for the decider:
1-1..let the bout commence next weekend

1:1 the way I see it.

One supporter thought that Mustafi may avoid scoring again in fear of what Lacazette may do next:
Dont encourage such behavior. Guys will stop scoring for the fear of getting spanked..?

There’s clearly a great camaraderie between the players in the squad, and while the German certainly hasn’t always covered himself in glory in his defensive duties for the club, there’s no doubting he is one of the big characters in the team.
Germany face France in the opening UEFA Nations League tonight, but neither Mustafi nor Lacazette were named in the squad for their national sides.
