Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finally rediscovered his goalscoring form by netting a hat-trick as Arsenal beat Leeds United 4-2.

We’ve collected seven eye-catching stats following his impressive performance at the Emirates.
– Aubameyang was clinical in front of goal, scoring three goals from just three big chances against Leeds.
