Pepe makes debut as Aubameyang fires Arsenal past Newcastle

Nicolas Pepe made his debut while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the solitary goal in Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in Sunday’s Premier League game.

Pepe joined the Gunners this month from Lille in a club-record fee of £72 million, following his impressive performances for the Ligue 1 side.

The 24-year-old Ivorian winger was handed his debut by Unai Emery, replacing Reiss Nelson in the 71st minute.
