Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley on an eventful afternoon at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Things started in ideal fashion for the Gunners. Willian fed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who slammed home at the near post via the hand of Nick Pope.
It was the former Borussia Dortmund striker’s 15th goal in 29 appearances in all competitions, and fans were quick to react on Twitter.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has scored more goals (8) against Burnley than versus any other opponent.

However, Twitter wasn’t so kind towards Pope, who will be disappointed not to have kept it out. The England international has been going through a dip in form recently.
good move by aubameyang but that is a weak shot. pope should've kept that out easily

If Pope was called Pickford he’d be getting absolutely slated for his recent form…
