'I'm glad its finished... it is going to lift his confidence': Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta delighted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ended his five-game Premier League goal drought in victory away at Manchester United

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has expressed his relief after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brought to an end his five-game Premier League goal drought on Sunday.

Arsenal finally overcame Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League for the first time since 2006, winning 1-0 thanks to Aubameyang's second half penalty.

It was also the Gunners' first victory away at a Big Six side since they beat Manchester City in January 2015.

But perhaps more importantly to Arteta was that his talisman finally ended his worrying goal drought in the Premier League, having only netted on the opening day of the season before Sunday.
