Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned to the scoresheet netting twice in Arsenal’s comfortable 3-0 victory over Newcastle at the Emirates.

The Gabon striker hit the post from a narrow-angle with the goal gaping in the first half, but put this behind him to net twice after the break.

For the first, he raced onto a long ball from Thomas Partey before driving a left-footed shot above Karl Darlow, then side-footed home a pull-back from Cedric to seal the victory.
