Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice im Arsenal’s 3-2 win against Benfica ok Thursday night.
Mikel Arteta has stated that he has 'complete trust' in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners captain has struggled in the past 12 months ago to score a brace against Benfica and guide Arsenal into the last 16 of the Europa.
The Gunners were just three minutes away from crashing out on away goals as both legs being played at neutral venues.
'The last few days after the game in Rome against them, where he missed three or four opportunities and normally they are three goals for him, he needed to react and it was great to see the way he reacted is being upset and trying to be better - and not just feeling sad for yourself in this moment. I am really pleased with what he's done tonight.'
Asked if Aubameyang's winner 364 days on from that game, in the home stadium of Olympiacos, was the kind of poetry football can produce, Arteta said: 'Yes, that is to be fair the first image that came through my mind when he scored.
'We didn't know if the VAR was going to allow the goal and then the last action when they were offside as well and had a chance.
'This is the beautiful thing about football, if you keep going you always have the chance to put it right.'
