Aubameyang breaks Premier League record with goal against Spurs

The Daily Mail claim Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made Premier League history on Sunday with his second goal against Spurs, as Arsenal ran out 4-2 winners in the North London derby.

The striker became the first Premier League player since Blackburn Rovers forward Benni McCarthy in 2007 to score with ten consecutive shots on target.

Opening the scoring from the penalty spot, the Gabonese international would equalise in the 56th minute with a well-taken goal from outside the penalty box.

McCarthy’s achievement came over the space of two seasons, whereas the prolific Aubameyang racked up his goals inside 100 days.

Alexandre Lacazette would go on to fire Arsenal into the lead, and Lucas Torreira sealed the deal with a goal of his own minutes later.

The win marked the nineteenth game in the Gunners’ impressive unbeaten run, and if the players keep turning in performances like that of Sunday, more records will be soon to follow.
