Aubameyang and Kane are two world-class forwards for Arsenal and Spurs respectively.

But certainly, Aubameyang won the battle of the forwards in this game.

Yes, Kane scored a penalty. But Aubameyang's pace, finishing, and pressing of the Spurs defence was a major part of the victory. Harry Kane didn't have much impact on the game, and Aaubameyang's second goal was of exquisite quality.

Lacazette had a good game and his goal was taken, as well as Aubameyang

Arsenal's attacking play was facilitated by a collective press, with Iwobi and Mkhitaryan providing support to Aubameyang in this regard. It was a well-executed plan by Unai Emery, and this shows that Arsenal's forward line was better deployed than that of Tottenham.

Aubameyang is currently the PL's top scorer, as his brace saw him overtake Sergio Aguero (who has eight goals). Can Auba win the Golden Boot, in his first full season as an Arsenal player? Who knows? But on this form, it would be foolish to bet against him.
