Comments:

League position: 7th With the opening goal, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang became the 113th player to score 50 or more goals in the Premier League and the ninth for Arsenal. *** He took 79 games to reach the landmark; the quickest to reach 50 league goals for the club since Joe Baker in December 1963 (62 games in League Division One). *** [c/o Harvey Downes]. The Gunners had now won eight of their last 11 games in all competitions (lost three). They had now kept five clean sheets in their last 18 home games in the Premier League.
