A very casual penalty late on from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the difference between an Arsenal win and a draw against Tottenham.
Arsenal took the lead early on as Aaron Ramsey slotted the ball past Hugo Lloris and into the Tottenham net after receiving a decent pass from Alexandre Lacazette. Spurs had their fair share of chances but were foiled by a brilliant Bernd Leno until the 74th minute, when Tottenham received a penalty.
Harry Kane slotted in the penalty calmly to restore parity between the two teams. The game got heated on the pitch and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stood up to take the Arsenal penalty that was awarded late late into the game. In what was possibly the best chance for a winner, Aubameyang’s tame effort was saved by Hugo Lloris and the game ended in a draw, with Lucas Torreira receiving his marching orders.
Aubameyang was the pantomime villain for his tame effort from the spot.
What a Horrible Penalty ?

The fact that Aubameyang missed a penalty in the 90th minute makes the draw that much more painful… ?

Aubameyang and Lacazette bottled it today. £400k a week between them and missing golden chances in this game is poor.

Ramsey pointing to the Wembley turf in celebration, this ground means so much to him and this’d be some way to sign off in an Arsenal shirt.
Wonder if we might see him playing a CL final there in black and white one day?
