Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secures Arsenal’s first win of the season
– Arsenal record first Premier League win of the season to get their campaign up and running; Mikel Arteta’s side recorded 30 shots at goal but just one of those mattered.
– Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored Arsenal’s first goal of the season which was just enough for the Gunners to edge past Norwich 1-0 and ease the pressure on Mikel Arteta.
– The Arsenal boss came into the game under the spotlight after starting the season with three defeats on the spin without scoring, and the tension was growing further inside The Emirates Stadium until Aubameyang goal in the 66 minutes.
– Somehow, Arsenal only managed the one goal despite registering 30 efforts on the Norwich goal and had to survive an edgy final few minutes of Canaries’ attacks to earn their first three points of the season.
– Arsenal rise to 16th in the Premier League table having picked up a vital three points. Suddenly the outlook is far more rosy for Arteta and his team, even if this was a somewhat fortuitous victory over inferior opponents. Norwich take Arsenal’s place rock-bottom of the table. They’re still pointless after four games played but they have easier games coming up now.
