LONDON — Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Jamie Vardy as the leading scorers in the Premier League by grabbing goals either side of halftime in Arsenal’s end-to-end 3-2 win over Everton that kept his team in contention for Champions League qualification on Sunday.
Arsenal recovered from conceding a goal inside the first minute at Emirates Stadium, with an equalizer from Eddie Nketiah and a double from Aubameyang earning the hosts victory.
Aubameyang moved onto 17 goals, a tally all the more impressive given the fact he is playing as a left-winger this season. The Gabon striker finished tied with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane as the league’s top scorer last season.
