Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal against Cardiff brought to an end a 76-game run for the forward.
Stepping inside to curl a beautiful effort into the corner of the net to restore Arsenal’s lead and get himself up and running for the campaign, it was the first time the Gabonese forward had found the back of the net from outside the box in 30 months.
