Goals scored as sub- 4

The Gabon international is on red-hot form this season, already scoring 9 goals from 15 games this season. In the Premier League, Aubameyang has scored 7 goals from 11 games and the majority of those goals have come off the bench.

Aubameyang scored his first goal of the season against Cardiff and then scored his second against Everton. However, after 7 straight starts, Emery opted to put the former Dortmund striker on the bench against Fulham. In the 62nd minute, Aubameyang replaced Welbeck and in the 79th minute, he scored his third of the season. 12 minutes later, the Gabon international had scored again, ensuring that the Gunners ended the night with a 5-1 win.

However, even his heroics could not earn him a return to the starting 11, as Aubameyang found himself on the bench again, in the following game against Leicester City. This time when Emery asked for his services, Arsenal were in deep trouble. With the game poised at 1-1, Aubameyang replaced Lichtsteiner in the 61st minute. 2 minutes later, he had found the back of the net and 3 minutes after giving Arsenal the lead, Aubameyang took the game away from Leicester City, scoring his second of the game. With 4 goals from 2 games as a substitute, Aubameyang is the best super-sub of the Premier League season so far.
