Who is the surprising Arsenal player who let the Gunners down in Sporting draw

Retired Arsenal player Martin Keown has outlined the player who he thinks could be as good as Thierry Henry. Speaking as a pundit on BT Sport, Keown criticised the former Borussia Dortmund goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for failing to guarantee his side the goals they look to him to score in 0-0 draw against Sporting. The challenge was that Sporting had no shots on goal and it was all on Arsenal trying to break down the opposition," he said. "And Aubameyang really let them down in front of goal. "He should have taken his chances tonight. He's a player I rate really very highly. He was taken off against Liverpool, he wasn't happy about that, and with the injury tonight it caught him out as much as anyone else. "He didn't seem ready, mentally. On another night he'd have put his chances away. It didn't quite come off for him." Despite having chances, Aubameyang was unable to find the finish to grant Arsenal all three points, although the Gunners were still able to secure qualification to the knock out stages of Europa league.
