Aubameyang key as Arsenal put Leeds to the sword

In the 13th minute, the Gunners scored the opening goal of the game. Aubameyang scored Arsenal's first goal with a goal which no keeper likes to concede.

The Gunners were attacking and the ball ended up at the feet of Aubameyang. He moved the ball diagionally and the fact he had temporarily swapped places with Smith-Rowe caught the Leeds defence out.

He hit the ball hard and low, looking for the base of the near post. His shot caught Meslier by surprise as he was expecting the ball to go across him. The goalie was unable to prevent the goal.

Aubameyang then got his second in the 41st minute from the penalty spot after a terrible error by goalkeeper Meslier and then Bellerin made it three just before half-time after a lovely team move. It was a disappointing first half showing by Leeds.

Two minutes into the second half, Aubameyang completed his hat-trick. Substitute Helder Costa lost the ball just outside his own area to Smith-Rowe and Aubameyang headed home the cross.

These goals mean he has now scored over 200 goals in major European leagues. He got 98 in the Bundesliga, 41 in Ligue 1 and 62 in the Premier League if you include this hat-trick.
