Arsenal have moved 2-0 over West Brom on the strike of half-time thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners have been dominant in possession from kick-off, although the defence was being put under pressure in the opening moments, but it has been plain sailing since the opening goal.
Aubameyang was blessed with cleaning up with a tap-in 17 minutes into the match, and added a second when Nicolas Pepe’s placed effort ricochets off the post into the path of the forward.

Auba will surely have his eye on the hat-trick now, although Arteta may have to consider safeguarding some players ahead of our clash with Man City this weekend.
