Arsenal manager Unai Emery has praised Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for his decision to allow Nicolas Pepe to take a penalty in their 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.
Pepe, who arrived at the Emirates Stadium on a club-record deal in August, scored his first Premier League goal as the Gunners fought back to defeat Dean Smith’s men at home.
With the Gunners trailing 1-0, Matteo Guendouzi won a penalty for the hosts after he was brought down in the area and the Ivorian forward stepped forward to convert from the spot in the 59th minute.
