In recent years, we have seen countless players fail to adjust to life in the Premier League. Many arrive in England with huge expectations, but simply cannot produce the goods. Fortunately for Arsenal fans, the same cannot be said for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabonese international led the line for Arsenal during their 1-0 win over Newcastle United, netting the only goal of the game to get his pursuit of the Golden Boot off to the perfect start.

The game was Aubameyang's 50th in the Premier League, bringing his 33rd goal in the English top flight – the best return of any player in Arsenal colours in their first half-century of matches.
50 – Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is set to play his 50th Premier League game for @Arsenal – the Gabon international has already netted at least two more goals than any other Gunner through their first 50 games for the club in the competition. Superhero. #NEWARS pic.twitter.com/I6g7hAocvp
