Arteta Hopes That Aubameyang's Goal To Go To Southampton's Goal Will Change Arsenal's Fate

JAKARTA - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hopes that the goal scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang against Southampton will change the fortunes of the club who are currently slumping in the Premier League this season.

Aubameyang scored a goal to give Arsenal a 1-1 draw in the Premier League at the Emirates, London, Wednesday local time (Thursday WIB).

The result ended Arsenal's streak of losing streak in the previous three matches, but it was not enough to get the Gunners out of the winning trend which has now lasted six straight matches.

"Hopefully it will change everything dramatically and he will score a goal in every match in the future because that's what we need at the moment," Arteta said after the match quoted by Antara from Arsenal's official website.

"We need points and for that we have to score more goals and be more efficient every chance we get," he added.

Aubameyang, who was urged earlier this season to sign a contract extension with Arsenal, has had a less than brilliant season so far in the Premier League and has scored just three goals.

In fact, Aubameyang scored four goals but he scored one goal last weekend against Arsenal itself when they were beaten by Burnley 0-1 at the Emirates.

"I think this will also make Aubameyang's situation better," said Arteta.

"I don't need to guess, I'm sure this will take a lot of pressure off him and free him from the burden," concluded the Spanish coach.

Arsenal are currently stuck in 15th place with a collection of 15 points and will travel to Everton's headquarters for Matchday 14 on Saturday, 19 December.
