Arsenal icon Martin Keown likens Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Thierry Henry

Arsenal icon Martin Keown has likened Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Thierry Henry after the Gabon forward struck twice in a 4-2 Europa League victory over Vorskla Poltava on Thursday evening.

The three points were expected but it was far from vintage Arsenal, who again failed to register their first clean sheet of the season after conceding late, something that will be cause for concern for Unai Emery.

The Arsenal boss did however have a silver lining to savour in the form of Aubameyang, who displayed the kind of lethal touch in front of goal to evoke memories of his French predecessor.
