Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's seventh goal of the Premier League season secured a 1-1 draw at Manchester United and means he has enjoyed the best goalscoring start to a campaign by an Arsenal player for 22 years.
The Gabonese striker's seven goals have come in seven appearances, equalling the start made by club legend Dennis Bergkamp in the 1997/98 season, when the Gunners won their first Premier League title.
Aubameyang now has 14 strikes in his last 14 league starts, and his minutes-per-goal ratio to date is the best of any Arsenal player in the competition's history.
He has scored a Premier League goal every 113 minutes, an even faster frequency than Thierry Henry achieved when racking up his 175 league goals for the Gunners.
