Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reached an Arsenal milestone in fast and hilarious fashion.
The free-scoring Gabonese striker is now the fastest player in Arsenal history to score 50 goals in the Premier League after the opener in the Gunners’ Wednesday visit from Norwich City.
He’d add an assist and Goal No. 51 before it was all said and done, pulling into a tie with Jamie Vardy for the PL Golden Boot.

Normally steady Norwich City goalkeeper Tim Krul lost his mind with the ball high in the 18, allowing Aubameyang to pounce and fire home.

It’s his first goal in five PL matches and 18th of the league campaign. He also has 21 goals in 36 matches this season.
Aubameyang’s also on the board with his fourth assist of the season.
