Arsenal skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed the impact the Gunners dismal start to the Premier League campaign had on the players involved.
The opening exchanges of the new season have been the stuff of nightmares for the Emirates faithful, as Mikel Arteta’s men sat rock bottom of the Premier League after three games played, with zero points, zero goals scored and nine goals conceded.
Prior to the international break, the Gunners endured arguably the club’s lowest point since Arteta took charge in December of 2019 – his side convincingly hammered 5-0 by a Manchester City team that barely had to get out of second gear to brush aside an Arsenal squad in absolute disarray.
However, a return to North London with five of the six summer signings featuring prompted better days, as Arsenal secured their first three points of the season courtesy of a 1-0 win over newly-promoted Norwich City.
Aubameyang’s close-range goal was enough to separate the two sides, the Gabon international tapping him from no more than a yard out.
Following the full-time whistle, the Arsenal captain expressed his delight at the result – which lifts the Gunners off the foot of the table.
