Aubameyang sends message to Arsenal supporters

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has vowed to make amends for his costly misses in Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat against Chelsea.

Much is expected of the Gabon striker this season after his stunning start to life in England following his big money move from Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window.

He netted 10 goals in 13 Premier League appearances during the second half of the 2017/2018 campaign and has been tipped by many to be a leading candidate for the Golden Boot award this term.

However, after two games of the season Aubameyang is yet to get off the mark and after Saturday’s game at Stamford Bridge only he knows how that’s happened.

Firstly he missed an open goal after Hector Bellerin had cut the ball back for him, then almost immediately after Alvaro Morata doubled the Blues’ lead.

Luckily for Aubameyang his teammates Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi both scored in a devastating four minute spell at the end of the first-half to save him some embarrassment.

However, the 29-year-old spurned another chance to give his side the lead before the break as he somehow failed to even hit the target from close range.

Not one to hide from such a bad performance, Aubameyang has taken to Twitter and posted a message to Arsenal fans.

“Today I missed, tomorrow Must Be better!!”, he tweeted.

Aubameyang will be looking to get off the mark this weekend when the Gunners welcome West Ham United to the Emirates Stadium in a second London derby in the space of seven days.

It was 4-1 to the hosts in the corresponding fixture last season and head coach Unai Emery would settle for a repeat scoreline as his side are yet to register their first points of the new campaign.
