Arsene Wenger pays tribute to ’exceptional’ Lucas Perez

Arsene Wenger hailed Lucas Perez’s first Premier League strike as an “exceptional goal of pure class”.

Perez fired home a sumptuous volley from Olivier Giroud’s savvy flick over the defence as Arsenal rallied for a last-gasp 3-3 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

Arsenal trailed 3-0 on the hour before Giroud laid on goals for Alexis Sanchez and Perez — then headed the equaliser in the second minute of added time.
