Mikel Arteta has revealed that Arsenal skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was denied the chance to complete his hat-trick against Newcastle after suffering from a 'stomach issue'.
The Gunners comfortably overcame Newcastle 3-0 in the Premier League on Monday night, with Aubameyang scoring a second-half brace while Bukayo Saka netted in between.
And after Aubameyang put the icing on the cake with his second of the night at the Emirates, he was immediately replaced by Willian before rushing straight down the tunnel.
And after fans were left wondering why Aubameyang was replaced, Arteta revealed that he was forced into the change.
