Now, for five consecutive seasons, Aubameyang has scored 25 goals or more for his club. Since his arrival at the club, the striker has formed a great partnership with Lacazette. They have a good mutual understanding of each other and contributed significantly this season. Without them, how would Arsenal's season have panned out?

Aubameyang played a role in helping his partner striker score the vital two goals in the first half and it was a night where both of them excelled. In the second half, the former Dortmund man almost found Lacazette in the box once more to net Arsenal's third goal. However, the Frenchman completely missed his header and wasted the chance to seal the result of the match.

Still upbeat about his chances, Aubameyang scored a deserving goal for himself in the final few minutes of the match. As one of the leading scorers in the EPL, the Gabonese has enjoyed a pretty good season with the English club. Fans can expect much more to come out of the duo in the seasons to come. Two most regrettable things for fans would be that both strikers are on the wrong side of their 20s, with Aubameyang turning 30 next month, and that they should have known each other at the Emirates earlier in their careers.
