Aubameyang's in-game toilet break in Arsenal defeat defended by Ljungberg

Arsenal caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg has seen nothing wrong in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's decision to have a toilet break while the Premier League game against Brighton and Hove Albion was going on.

The 30-year old forward was seen heading towards the tunnel in the closing stages of the game, with the Gunners down 2-1, only to return moments later.

This displeased some fans considering there was no striker on the pitch at that moment after Alexander Lacazette was substituted in the 77th minute.

Ljungberg, however, revealed Aubameyang simply had to answer nature's call.
