Aubameyang Scores 50th Arsenal Goals As Gunners Held Wolves
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores his 50th Arsenal goal as Wolves come from behind to held Gunners 1-1 in the Premier League encounter at Emirate Stadium on Saturday evening.
Gabon international handed the armband in Granit Xhaka’s absence while crowd-favourite Mesut Ozil was restored to the line-up, the Gunners were far from convincing.Arsenal’s greater quality in the final third had given them the edge at the interval when Alexandre Lacazette showed great composure to feed Aubameyang for the opener.Lacazette collected David Luiz’s deflected cross and squared for his strike partner to slot the ball beyond Rui Patricio.
The Gunners missed a great chance to double the lead minutes later as Conor Coady and Leander Dendoncker made a mess of dealing with Callum Chambers’ cross, but Torreira could only shoot straight at Rui Patricio.The visitors began the second half as they had the first, putting Arsenal under pressure, and the anxiety was tangible around the Emirates, particularly whenever the ball was at Leno’s feet.But it was Arsenal’s defensive frailties that would eventually show once more, as they were caught napping by a quick throw-in and Jimenez got up between Chambers and Sokratis to head home.
