#1 Red-hot Aubameyang

Is Aubameyang the best striker in the Premier League?
Is Aubameyang the best striker in the Premier League?

Picture the scene, 21 minutes in, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has barely had a touch in Watford’s box. Then in the blink of an eye, the Gabonese receives the ball from Sead Kolašinac, he swivels and then instantly drills the ball past Ben Foster. Leading up to that point, the Gunners had been second best to a rampant Watford side. However, quality will always prevail and once Aubameyang struck, a second looked increasingly likely.

Eleven minutes later, Arsenal’s marksman added another to his name, finishing off the longest passing sequence for a Premier League goal this season. The Gabonese international’s movement would see him be in the right place to tap in an Ainsley Maitland-Niles cross. The brace takes his tally to five in five appearances for the season, keeping up with the likes of Sergio Aguero and surprisingly, Tammy Abraham.
