LONDON– Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang played the super-sub role for Arsenal again, scoring two quick goals off the bench for the second game in a row as the Gunners took their winning streak to 10 games in all competitions.
Arsenal had trailed after Ben Chilwell’s cross was deflected by Hector Bellerin into his own net in the first half before Mesut Ozil scored a well-taken equalizer just before the break.

Supersub Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made Premier League history as Arsenal beat Fulham 5-1 away in the Premier League on Saturday, and has lauded the Gunners’ mentality after their win.

The two substitutions saw Arsenal shift gears, with Ramsey adding…
Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will miss Thursday’s Europa League against Qarabag, but Unai Emery brought most of his other stars to Azerbaijan despite a difficult travel schedule.
Emery said on Wednesday that Ramsey asked to stay home because of his wife’s pregnancy, while Aubameyang struggled with an illness this week.
“Aaron Ramsey asked me if he can stay in London because his wife is pregnant and they are waiting on the doctors,” Emery told a news conference in Baku.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may not play for Gabon again following a row with the country’s football association, new coach Daniel Cousin has told RMC.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery wants his goalkeepers to get used to his style of play as soon as possible.
Unai Emery’s first European game as Arsenal head coach ended in a 4-2 home win over Vorskla, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring twice.
It was an insipid first half hour but the game sprung to life on 32 minutes when Arsenal profited from a miscalculated dummy to launch a rapid counter-attack, finished off by Aubameyang. Danny Welbeck claimed his second of the season when heading home after 48 minutes and Aubameyang made it three as Vorskla continued to crumble on 56 minutes, curling home a…
Ten goals, ten different goal scorers: Arsenal’s season so far has been an exercise in shared responsibility. It would be a good enough situation for most clubs — especially those with a new head coach, keen to see players playing themselves into form under a new structure — but as a recipe for long-term success it is inherently flawed. Nothing gets the heart beating faster and the points flowing as readily as a striker in red-hot form bagging chance after chance.
The fact that Arsenal’s admirable…

The manner in which the two forwards combined to score Arsenal’s second goal in the 3-2 win over Cardiff on Sunday showed that an intuitive understanding is developing between the men born two…
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal against Cardiff City in Arsenal’s 3-2 victory on Sunday ended the hitman’s 76-goal run of scoring inside the box, and was his first long-range goal for 30 months.
Before slamming past Neil Etheridge after being picked out by Alexandre Lacazette in the 62nd minute of the Gunners’ Premier League victory, the forward’s last 76 goals had been from inside the box.
Ahead of Sunday’s clash, Auba’s last goal from outside the box came in action for Borussia Dortmund, when…
