In his 66th appearance in the division, Mohamed Elneny scored his first goal in the Premier League. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became the first player to score in five consecutive appearances for the Gunners in all competitions against an opponent since Olivier Giroud against Aston Villa in May 2016.
