Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an equaliser in the 58th minute against Manchester United in the Premier League to equalise an exclusive goal record. He joined a rare goalscoring club on Tuesday, October 1, 2019, as he became the second Arsenal forward to score seven times in the first seven clashes of a Premier League campaign. Aubameyang now shares his record in the Premier League with Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp. The Arsenal legend had achieved this record in the 1997-98 Premier League season.
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay scored the opening goal of the match in the 45th minute, ensuring a 1-0 lead for the Old Trafford side. Aubameyang matched Scott McTominay's first-half strike as VAR overruled the linesman’s offside call in the second half, levelling the game 1-1. The Gabon international scored his 14th goal in his last 14 matches he started for the Gunners. He scored 22 goals in 36 matches in the Premier League last season.
Premier League: Upcoming clashes
Unai Emery’s Arsenal are placed on the fourth position with 12 points after settling for a 1-1 draw against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team. Aubameyang will be looking to extend his scoring streak as Arsenal face Standard Liege in UEFA Europa League on Friday, October 4, 2019. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Arsenal will be hosting Bournemouth in their next clash on Sunday, October 6, 2019.
