Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has got off to a real flyer this season. Leaving aside the Spurs game (which took place in September), Auba scored two league goals in three games during the month of August.

It was his goal against Sean Dyche’s men at the Emirates that topped the Goal of the Month poll and it’s not hard to see why:
