Arsene Wenger praises Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's generosity in giving Alexandre Lacazette penalty

Arsene Wenger was delighted with his striker's generosity and unselfishness

Arsene Wenger was delighted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang allowed Alexandre Lacazette to take a late penalty in Arsenal's win over Stoke, despite the Gabon striker being on a hat-trick.

Aubameyang, who had netted twice in quick succession as a late Arsenal flurry gave them a 3-0 win, had no issue with his team-mate scoring the third from the penalty spot, only the France international's second goal in 14 games for the Gunners.

Arsenal talking points

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice as Arsenal claimed a late 3-0 win over Stoke City at the Emirates Stadium, but what were the talking points from the game?

Wenger said after Sunday's game that Aubameyang's generosity is a good thing for Arsenal, and insists unselfishness and team mentality is a sign of good things to come.

He told Sky Sports: "I like that. I think strikers who are generous are a rarity, and when you see it, you are very happy, because you know it will make the team much better."
