Gunners chief began his reign with a comprehensive victory over the National League outfit as he gave 23 players a chance to impress. Aubameyang smashed a 17-minute hat-trick as Unai Emery began his Arsenal career with a bang. The Spaniard, 46, took over from Arsene Wenger this summer – being charged with injecting life into the club. And his reign started spectacularly with a comprehensive win over National League Boreham Wood.
Aubameyang cured a beauty inside the far post from outside the area to net his first in the seventh minute. And the Gabon international nodded home a second before converting a penalty well won by Reiss Nelson for his third inside 20 minutes. Alexandre Lacazette then teed-up Nelson for the fourth before slotting home from Aubameyang’s ball for a 5-0 half-time lead.
