Arsenal skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has found his stunning form as he bagged a hat-trick in gunners’ 4-2 win over Leeds United on Sunday.

Aubameyang was included for the first time in Mikel Arteta’s starting eleven after his mother’s health scare.

And Auba showed that he has a lot to offer again. Indeed, he scored three goals including a penalty in a showdown which became his first Premier League hat-trick.

Moreover, the former Borussia Dortmund becomes the third player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick on Vlentine’s Day after Matt Le Tissier vs Liverpool in 1994 and Michael Owen vs Sheffield Wednesday in 1998.

His manager Arteta hailed him at the end of the game and said he is proud for him.

“I thought he was superb today,” Arteta told Sky Sports.

“He’s been training really good the last week or so, he was back to normal, he looked really committed in training, really hungry. And I think today he had a great performance, not just for the goals but the amount of pressure he put on every Leeds defender.

“I am delighted for him, he deserved it. We know that’s a big part of our future success is related to Auba being at his best and scoring as many goals as possible. If he is in that type of form, we are going to be closer to winning football matches, that is clear.” he added.
