#1 Poacher supreme Aubameyang takes the center stage yet again

Aubameyang scored a sublime opener for Arsenal

Since joining the Gunners in January, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 23 goals in 29 Premier League appearances. His 13 strikes this season have been crucial to Arsenal, and he leads the pack in the Golden Boot race.

The Gabon international is one of the best poachers around. He does not drop deep much and doesn't involve himself too much in the build-up play. But he gets into the right positions every time and finishes off chances with unerring precision. The goal against Brighton exemplified exactly that. He received the ball in the box and curled an impeccable strike past Matt Ryan.

Aubameyang's goals will be vital for Arsenal as Unai Emery's side will push for a top-four finish. Just give him chances, and he will deliver. A half-chance will do just as well, as Brighton will attest to.
