Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sends Unai Emery message over Alexandre Lacazette

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes his team will have a great chance of finishing in the top four if his manager does one thing. 

The Arsenal striker believes his partnership with Alexandre Lacazette can terrorise defences.

Lacazette scored the second goal as the Gunners strikers put Chelsea’s defence to the sword with Unai Emery playing them up front together.

The duo have often played in the same starting line-up, but rarely as a front two with one often playing wide or behind a main striker.

But Aubameyang, who has scored 14 Premier League goals, hopes Emery will stick with a winning formula.

“It was really nice. I think we did a lot of runs, a lot of efforts for the team, we worked a lot and of course we are happy when we play together because we have such a good feeling between us. It was cool,” the former Dortmund striker said.

“Why not? Sincerely, I hope so because when you have a striker like Alex near to you then he’s really good to play with. I hope we will play more games together.”

“Since I joined Arsenal he was here and he came to me and talked to me and now we are going well, we have the same vision about football and I love him! He’s a great guy.”

“It is nice between us, it’s not a bad rivalry, we are friends. When one is going well the other is happy and that’s the most important thing, to do well.”

Aubameyang reckons Arsenal can finish the season high as they look to close the gap on the top four and are still in the FA Cup and Europa League. He also believes he can play even better. 

He added: “I can do a bit more. I hope I will. I try to. I hope I will do it.”

“This win was very important. We knew that it was important to get a result. It’s a very good win for us because now we are only three points from Chelsea. We’re not far. We will try to keep the distance very low.”

“This gives us a lot of confidence that we can finish the season well.”
