Arsenal picked up a big win on Sunday evening as they beat Leeds United 4-2 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners took an early lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as he fired home Granit Xhaka’s pass before doubling the lead from the penalty spot.
Hector Bellerin added a third, and Aubameyang headed in from Emile Smith Rowe cross… or maybe it was a shot, giving Arsenal an almost unassailable 4-0 lead.
Leeds did though rally with goals from Pascal Struijk and Helder Costa, but Arsenal held on late in the day to seal a 4-2 victory.
The day belonged to Aubameyang, as he scored his first ever Premier League hat-trick, more than three years since joining Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund.
Aubameyang has endured a difficult season at times, but now has seven goals in his last nine outings in all competitions, meaning he is getting somewhat back to his best.
The 31-year-old seemingly won’t be playing on the wing again any time soon, which will surely delight him, and he received a message of support from teammate Bellerin on Sunday.
Bellerin took to Twitter to send a four-word message to Aubameyang, simply saying ‘you deserve that bro’ as he showed an understanding of the difficult season he has gone through this term.
