JAKARTA - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals when Arsenal beat Newcastle United 3-0 in the English Premier League on Monday (Tuesday WIB). This result also adds to the curse of Steve Bruce's foster children who did not win until the ninth match in all competitions.

After a bad start to the season, Mikel Arteta's side are currently moving up to 10th in the standings and they don't look like they are under pressure from Newcastle who look down.

Aubameyang hit the post in the first half and Alexandre Lacazette forced the Newcastle goalkeeper to make a save just after the break.

However, Aubameyang finally put the Gunners ahead in the 50th minute after completing a counterattack. He ran into the Newcastle defense and then fired a powerful left-footed shot at the near post.

Ten minutes later Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 after a fine partnership with young Emile Smith Rowe, who played the ball behind the Newcastle defense before delivering his measured pass.

Arsenal closed this match with a 3-0 win after Aubameyang scored his second goal in this match in the 77th minute. An additional three points brings Arsenal to 10th.
