Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted his 50th Premier League goal for Arsenal after opening the scoring against Norwich City and set a club record in the process.
The Gunners’ captain became the quickest player in Arsenal history to reach half a century in the Premier League, setting a new record above the club’s all-time record scorer Thierry Henry.
As well as setting a new club record, Aubameyang also put himself amongst some very good company in the league record after becoming the sixth-fastest player to hit that figure.
Aubameyang has scored 50 goals in just 79 Premier League matches since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund – but others have done it remarkably quicker.
Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole took just 65 matches to hit the margin, while former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United ace Alan Shearer took 66 games.
Another ex-United man, Ruud van Nistelrooy, took 68 matches to hit half a century, while ex-Liverpool striker Fernando Torres took 72 matches.
In more recent history, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah took the same amount of matches as Torres, then being followed by Aubameyang
