Aubameyang seals Arsenal victory at Newcastle

Steve Bruce's reign as Newcastle United manager began in disappointing fashion as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second-half goal sealed a 1-0 victory for Arsenal at a subdued St James' Park on Sunday.After a largely forgettable first half in which Newcastle were slightly the better side, Arsenal eased to a comfortable three points thanks to Aubameyang's 58th minute strike.

The Gunners had to wait until April to keep their first away clean sheet in the Premier League last season, but looked solid as they opened their campaign in far better fashion than a year ago when consecutive defeats marked the start of Unai Emery's tenure following the end of the Arsene Wenger era.

The Gabonese frontman has now scored 33 goals in 50 Premier League appearances since joining Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in February 2018 with only Liverpool's Mo Salah having scored more league goals in that period. While Newcastle have spent in the transfer window, for many fans it has failed to make up for the loss of popular manager Rafa Benitez who left in June having failed to agree a new contract.The experienced Bruce's appointment has not exactly sparked the passion of the fans either and there was little energy coming from the stands throughout a cagey clash.
