Aubameyang Shines As Arsenal Beat Everton

By Daily Sports on February 17, 2020

Mikel Arteta admitted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has erased any doubts about his commitment after Arsenal’s captain led by example with a double in their 3-2 win against Everton on Sunday.

For much of a troubled season Arsenal have been written off as also-rans in the battle to qualify for the Champions League.

But, recovering from the wreckage of the Unai Emery era, their revival under Arteta is gathering pace.

Rocked by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s first-minute goal at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal equalised through Eddie Nketiah and took the lead thanks to Aubameyang.

Richarlison levelled for Everton to cap a dramatic first half, but Gabon striker Aubameyang had the final word seconds after the break.

Gunners boss Arteta revealed he was not convinced about Aubameyang’s mentality before he took charge, but watching his skipper tracking back to help defend in the closing stages won over the Spaniard.

“Before I took over I had my questions about him but he showed his commitment. I wanted him to show if he wanted to do it and do it physically,” Arteta said.

“I’m so happy with him. He is scoring important goals and as a captain he is giving a great example to everyone else with the way he is working defensively.”

Arsenal climbed above Everton into ninth place and sit four points behind fifth-placed Manchester United.

With second-placed Manchester City banned from European competitions for the next two years, as it stands finishing fifth could secure Champions League action pending the result of City’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. (Reuters)
