'He's expected to score every game' - Arsenal boss Arteta not surprised to see Aubameyang criticism

Mikel Arteta was unsurprised to have his use of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang questioned with the Arsenal attacker struggling to match his goalscoring prowess of previous seasons.

Aubameyang has primarily played from the left under Arteta, despite also proving adept as a central striker during his two and a half years at Emirates Stadium.

Since his Premier League debut in February 2018, only Mohamed Salah (60) has scored more than the Gabon international's haul of 55.

Prior to the start of the 2020-21 campaign, Aubameyang averaged a top-flight goal every 128 minutes.
