Top Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot: March 2019

#3 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon, Arsenal)

Arsenal FC v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League

Goals Scored - 16

The Gabon international dropped one place to 3rd at the start of March. Aubameyang started the month with a disappointing 3-1 loss at the hands of Manchester City, where he played the full 90 minutes but failed to score.

He was not in the squad for the next game against Huddersfield and could only make the bench in the following game against Southampton. He came off for the last 15 minutes, but once again, it was not a fruitful outing, even though Arsenal won the game.

This midweek, he was in the starting eleven against Bournemouth and score a fantastic goal as the Gunners won 5-1 at home. Aubameyang now has 16 goals from 27 games in the Premier League and is averaging a goal every 131 minutes played. He has registered 51 shots, 28 of which have been on target.

At the start of March, the Gabon International is 3rd among the top contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot.
