If there was one thing Arsenal were lacking up front, it was effective movement. Lacazette is a striker who likes to drop back deep and involve in playmaking, whereas Aubameyang gets in behind the defenders, pulling them out of their position and forcing them to commit mistakes, and that was exactly what Arsenal lacked today.

Aubameyang's involvement means that the defenders have to man-mark him all the time, and the 29-year-old's best thing is that he knows to get away from his marker. His pace would've come handy for the Gunners as they struggled to get goals yesterday against a resurgent defensive side.

With 19 goals to his name, Aubameyang has been a key figure for Arsenal, and he scored in two back to back away games for Arsenal in recent weeks. He might be gutted to see his side lose, and the fact that he could not help but only watch his team lose from the sidelines gives him more reasons than ever to come up with a brilliant performance against Leicester City on Sunday.
