Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s miss
Arsenal were in action against Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium today.
Mikel Arteta’s side won the Premier League game with relative ease.
It could have been even more comfortable for Arsenal had star striker Aubameyang scored in the first half.
It was a very simple chance for the Gabonese striker.
Carlton Cole shocked
Former West Ham United striker Cole was following the match for BBC Sport.
And he was shocked.
The Englishman has also praised Bukayo Saka for his performance for Arsenal.
Cole said on BBC Sport at half time: “Saka is the only one to be causing them real issues. But that glaring miss from Aubameyang is one of them where you think ‘wow did he actually just miss that!’
Disappointing for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Aubameyang has been playing well recently, but against Newcastle, the striker had an off-day.
The 32-year-old took two shots and one was on target, had a pass accuracy of 76.5%, took 25 touches, made one tackle, and put in one cross.
The striker had a rather quiet afternoon, but at the end of the day, Arsenal won.
And that’s the most important thing.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are very much in the race for the Champions League places in the Premier League table this season.
