Aubameyang Breaks Arsenal Record with 50th Goal ¶
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a spectacular brace to guide Arsenal to a 4-0 win over Norwich City on July 1, 2020, at the Emirates Stadium.
With his opening goal, Aubameyang achieved a place in Arsenal's history books as the Gabonese became the Gunners' fastest player to score 50 Premier League goals in record time.
He surpassed Thierry Henry's record, who achieved it after 83 Premier League matches, with Aubameyang managing to do it with fewer games, 79.
Only five players have been quicker to reach the half-a-century goal quicker in the history of the English league, with Andy Cole still the record-holder.
Aubameyang has been at the Emirates since January 2018, when he joined the north London club from Borussia Dortmund.
His masterclass against Norwich was enough to fire his side to seventh on the charts as Mikel Arteta looks to guide his men to Champions League qualification.
