Watford vs Arsenal: The numbers behind Aubameyang’s perfect goal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Arsenal a ‘perfect goal’ in Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Watford.

After putting the Gunners in front at Vicarage Road, he completed his brace after his teammates had stringed together 20 passes before firing past Ben Foster thanks to Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ assist.

There were 20 passes in the move that led to @Aubameyang7's second goal...

And that accounted for the longest passing sequence leading to a goal in the 2019-20 Premier League campaign so far.
