Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s hat-trick sends Arsenal into Uefa Europa League final

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick as Arsenal defeated Valencia 4-2 in the return fixture of the Uefa Europa League semi-final clash.

The Gunners outclassed their hosts at the Estadio de Mestalla with a 7-3 aggregate win, to book a spot in the final billed for the Olympic Stadium in Baku on May 29.

After Kevin Gameiro broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, Aubameyang drew the visitors level with his left-footed shot from outside of the penalty area in the 17th minute.

Alexandre Lacazette fired the Gunners ahead in the 50th minute after benefitting from Lucas Torreira’s assist but the lead was short-lived by Gameiro’s 58th-minute strike.
