Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal against Newcastle will give the forward momentum for the second half of the season.
The Gabon international has been short of his prolific best so far this term, but he netted late on in extra time to secure Arsenal’s passage into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The goal was his second in four games, following his strike in the draw with Southampton on December 16, and Arteta is hopeful his star forward’s confidence will be restored by his close-range finish.
