Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was set to start the North London derby on Sunday against Tottenham before he was dropped for Alexandre Lacazette who wore the captain’s armband.
The 31-year-old took to social media to celebrate the Gunners’ triumph after goals from Martin Odegaard and Alexandre Lacazette helped them surmount Jose Mourinho’s side.
Aubameyang was prepared to start the encounter at the Emirates Stadium but he was dropped to the bench for disciplinary reasons and Lacazette led the frontline with the captain’s armband.
He was looking to make an appearance later in the game as he was seen warming up in the second half with Willian who replaced Emile Smith Rowe in the 77th minute. However, Aubameyang was not chosen to come on.
“North London is Red and that’s it!!!,” Aubameyang wrote on Instagram with a picture of the team’s celebration.
