2. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a sensational goalscorer

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored plenty of important goals in his Arsenal career. None may be more significant than his 69th and 70th.

Aubameyang, of course, is renowned for such prolific brilliance. It is simply what he does. His first may have been a penalty, but it was sensationally slotted into the bottom corner. He also won the penalty with his trademark outside-to-inside run from the left flank, burning Cesar Azpilicueta for pace as he collected a long ball over the top.

His second was truly beautiful. Receiving the ball in the penalty area, he shaped to bend a finish into the far corner, then chopped the ball back onto his left foot to swerve past the lead-footed Kurt Zouma, and dinked a delightful chip over the onrushing Willy Caballero.

Aubameyang has done this throughout his Arsenal career. He scored twice in the semi-final win over Manchester City. He has scored 22 Premier League goals in his last two campaigns. He is utterly prolific. Let’s hope, then, that this is not the last time he nestles the back of the net for the Gunners.
