Watford 2-2 Arsenal: 3 Players who were poor for the Gunners and 2 who weren't | Premier League 2019/20

#2 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Impressive

Aubameyang bagged a brace against Watford

In the 2018-19 season, Aubameyang produced sensational numbers as the Gabonese shared the Golden Boot with Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane. Thus, several Gooners hoped for the striker to continue his scintillating form and luckily for them, his rich scoring run hasn’t waned.

Over the past ten games for Arsenal, the forward has notched up 12 goals, meaning that he has averaged more than a goal a game during the said period.

On Sunday, the Gabonese was thrust into the centre forward position, courtesy the injury to Alexandre Lacazette and the former thrived.

He made numerous runs into the channels to drag the central defenders out of position and was alert defensively too. However, akin to many a time previously, the distinguishing facet of his game-play was the end product he conjured.

The first goal was created through a sheer moment of genius as Aubameyang received a pacey pass from Kolasinac on the right edge of the penalty area. The striker controlled the ball with a sublime first touch before beating Foster via a fantastic snap shot, to the keeper’s near post.

Nine minutes later, he showcased his predatory instincts as he out-paced Craig Dawson near the top of the eighteen-yard box, thereby getting ahead of the defender as Maitland-Niles cut the ball back from the right wing.

A few days ago, Arsenal were dealt a major blow when Lacazette was ruled out for a considerable amount of time.

Yet, with Aubameyang in their ranks, the Gunners shouldn’t really be worrying about their goal-scoring threat. And, while the North London outfit have a fair few ailments plaguing them currently, the offensive third and the Gabonese certainly isn’t one of those.
