FA Cup Video – Aubameyang netted a brace to secure FA Cup trophy for Arsenal

Aubameyang

Who else if not Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ? Arsenal’s talisman was on fire again in FA Cup. As he netted a brace to clinch Gunners, their 14th FA Cup trophy over Chelsea Sunday night.

Despite a quick Chelsea goal scored by Christian Pulisic at the 5th minute, Aubameyang rushed into Caballero’s box before being hooked by Azpilicueta to benefit a penalty.

Unsurprisingly, Gabon international beat Blues’ shot-stopper to score the equalizer. With a 1-1 scoreline at half-time, a strong Mikel Arteta speech transcended Gunners and especially Auba.

The 31-year-old scored a second goal for Arsenal at the 63rd minute with a stung over Willy Caballero.
