Aubameyang scored the only goal as Arsenal beat Marseille in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The Gabonese forward was brought on as a second-half substitute for Alexandre Lacazette and he made no mistake when he got his head to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's cross to give the visitors the lead in the 72nd minute.

It was Aubameyang's first goal since he joined Arsenal from Dortmund last month and it was enough to secure victory for Arsene Wenger's side who now face AC Milan in the next round.

Marseille had chances early on but could not find the back of the net and were reduced to ten men after Adil Rami was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 41st minute.

Aubameyang's strike was Arsenal's third consecutive league win,Bundesliga Tracking having also beaten Manchester City and Burnley during their unbeaten run.

He has now scored three times this season and is starting to make himself indispensable at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have won four out of five games under Wenger this term with Aubameyang leading the line.

He has scored six goals and provided two assists so far this campaign and his form has been a big reason why they have remained in the top four.

Marseille boss Rudi Garcia was left frustrated by his team's performance after they went behind and admitted that they will need to improve if they are to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.

He said: "We didn't create any dangerous situations and we were unable to score even though we created many opportunities.

"We're disappointed because we know we can do better."

The French club will be hoping to bounce back against Lille in their domestic league later this week while Arsenal look set to go into the international break in good spirits.
