DBasia.news – Arsenal’s front line appeared less sharp this time. According to statistics, Manchester United defender, Harry Maguire has fired more shots on target than the Gunners spearhead duo Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arsenal won a narrow 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Gunners’ only goal was scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang through the white point.
However, this does not negate the fact that Arsenal are not doing well. Moreover, a few days later, Mikel Arteta’s squad actually defeated Aston Villa with three goals without reply at the Emirates Stadium.
One of the problems Arsenal need to solve is the sharpness of the strikers who are still blunt this season. So far, Lacazette has only fired shots at the goal nine times, while Aubameyang has one more.
These statistics are no better than Harry Maguire who plays as a defender at Manchester United. Although, when it comes to goals, Lacazette and Aubameyang are still better.
Aubameyang, who scored goals last season, only scored two goals in the Premier League. Apart from the penalty goal against Man United, the former Borussia Dortmund player only scored a goal against Fulham in the first weekend.
Meanwhile, for Lacazette, the goal record is actually better than last season. With the same number of matches, the former Lyon player has scored three goals, while last season only scoring two.
However, Lacazette and Aubameyang’s low shot-on-goal statistics are clearly a red flag for Arsenal. Of the eight matches in the Premier League, the Gunners have only scored nine goals. With the same amount, Chelsea is the most productive team to score 20 goals.
