Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang produced one of the misses of the season against Newcastle at the Emirates this evening.
The Arsenal skipper an ncredible chance to put the Gunners in the lead when he was just yards out.
After Bukayo Saka saw his right-footed effort saved by the feet of Karl Darlow, the ball fizzed right into the path of Aubameyang at the far post in the 15th minute.

It was an open goal for the Gabon striker but he got his first-time finish horrendously wrong and saw the strike cannon against the post and back into play.
It genuinely looked harder to miss for the former Borussia Dortmund man. He won't want to watch that back anytime soon.

Aubameyang hadn't been producing the goods in attack of late but the captain did find the net with a brace in the second half - following up his strike against Newcastle in the FA Cup.
Speaking before the game, Mikel Arteta had no worries about the 31-year-old rediscovering his goalscoring prowess.
"Yes, but it's not about individuals,' the Arsenal boss said, as per the Daily Mail.
"It's about what we do as a collective and we have to do more in this.

"'And, then, for sure, when you look at these games and how they are won, a lot of times it is because of individuals as opposed to collective actions.
"It is a moment of spark that has to open up these sorts of games - and then the game gets much easier and you get it where you want.
"We have missed that, but it isn't just Auba."
