Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s incredible goalscoring record for Arsenal is showing no sign of slowing down.
The 30-year-old’s finish in the 1-1 draw with Wolves has taken his Gunners goal tally to the 50-goal mark, which is remarkable as he’s only made 78 appearances for them.
50 – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored his 50th goal for Arsenal in just his 78th appearance – only six players have reached the milestone quicker for the Gunners. Greats. #ARSWOL pic.twitter.com/ODhVCN1cuT

Only six players in Arsenal’s history have reached their half-century in fewer games, with Ted Drake top of the list having netted 50 in just 52 games for the club in the 1930s.
Perhaps more surprising is the fact that the club’s record goalscorer Thierry Henry, who needed 83 appearances to get his half-century, does not even feature in the top 10.
Aubameyang calmly slotted his goal from close range after being teed up by Alexandre Lacazette to put the hosts ahead.
But Unai Emery’s men failed to seal the three points after Raul Jimenez equalized with a header to prolong what’s been a turbulent week for the Gunners.
The 30-year-old now has nine goals in all competitions this season – eight coming in the Premier League and one in the Europa League.
