‘What a beautiful human being’, some Arsenal fans praise forward’s performance vs Aston Villa

A section of the Arsenal fans have expressed their delight after watching Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang score the winning goal in the 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The north London giants conceded the opening goal in the 20th minute of the game after they failed to track the run of John McGinn who scored with a deft finish.

Thereafter, things only became worse with Ainsley Maitland-Niles sent off prior to the break but the Gunners managed to end their winless league streak through an impressive second half showing.

Nicolas Pepe grabbed the equalising goal from the penalty spot before the hour mark but the happiness was shortlived after the Villains scored through Wesley Moraes just 90 seconds later.

Despite this, the Gunners kept on maintaining the pressure on the visitors and they eventually equalised for the second occasion after a wonderful finish from Calum Chambers in the 81st minute.

Shortly after, Aubameyang slotted home the winner with a terrific freekick just outside the box and this ensured that the club returned to the top four of the Premier League.

Following the game, a number of the Gunners faithful were pleased with Aubameyang’s match-winning impact while they also praised him for offering the second half penalty to Nicolas Pepe in order to enhance the Ivorian’s confidence.

Twitter Reactions:

Despite being in a race for the golden boot, Aubameyang let Pépé take a penalty to get off the mark for the club. He then proceeded to take the armband, score a freekick to win the game when his side were up against it & followed it up with Nico’s trademark celebration. Hero.

Aubameyang gave penalty to Pépé and now scored a winner while doing Pépé’s celebration. This is the type of friend you keep for life man. What a beautiful human being

Has anyone got a reason why Aubameyang shouldn't be Arsenal captain? https://t.co/04e9jwNljA

Without Aubameyang this season we would have just 3 points. The guy is world class and he's keeping the gaffer in a job

When Lacazette had just returned from injury Aubameyang passed on a hattrick and let him take the penalty to boost his confidence.

Today he let Pépé take the penalty to boost his confidence.

Aubameyang is such an unselfish player. But we were told he would be a toxic addition

The victory ended a run of three winless games in the Premier League. Arsenal are now scheduled to host Nottingham Forest in the third round of the League Cup on Tuesday night before facing Manchester United on the road on September 30.
