Danny Welbeck was in inspired form against Southampton but this stat does not reflect well on the Arsenal man

Danny Welbeck is a player that divides opinion but no one could doubt the striker was on fire in Arsenal's 3-2 win over Southampton.

The 27-year-old was in inspired form as he bagged two goals and an assist in the entertaining game at the Emirates Stadium.

Often the ironic 'Wele' memes comparing Welbeck to the great Pele come out whenever he has a good game, but this does not happen frequently.

And this stat does not look too kindly on his goalscoring ability.

According to WhoScored.com, yestrday's game marked the first time Welbeck has registered five goals in a single Premier League campaign since the 2013/14 season.
