Arsenal have had their troubles with scoring goals in the Premier League and Mikel Arteta's side have failed to score from open play for almost eight hours. The Gunners last scored directly from a Nicolas Pepe strike last month against Sheffield United, before going through a barren patch in the final third. Notably, Arsenal's only Premier League goal this month came in their win over Man United at the Emirates, when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang slotted home a penalty for the only goal of the game.

Arsenal goal of the month: Red Devils mock Aubameyang penalty vs Man United after Gunners' goalscoring blushes
If Arsenal fail to score a goal in their game against Wolves this weekend, the Gunners will have failed to score a goal from open play in the whole month of November, a damning stat for a team that boasts firepower in the likes Pierre-Emerick Aubamyeang, Willian, Nicolas Pepe and Alexander Lacazette. Furthermore, Aubameyang's penalty will be the only goal scored this month in the Premier League and will most likely find itself among the Arsenal goal of the month nominees.

While the award is likely to include strikes from their U-23 side, the Women's team and their goals in the Europa League, Man United fans took full opportunity to aim a dig at their rivals for their goal-scoring blushes. Red Devils supporters pointed out that Tottenham star Heung-min Son had scored as many goals as Arsenal this season, with the South Korean international having scored nine goals so far this term.
Supporters also pointed out that Nicolas Pepe, who won Arsenal's goal of the month award for October, had more red cards than open play goals for the Gunners so far this month.
