Arsenal legend, Martin Keown thinks there is something to be happy about with his former club after watching the Europa League game against Vorskla.

The Gunners took the day in the 4-2 win, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finding the back of the net twice to add to the goals from Mesut Ozil and Danny Welbeck.

The Arsenal legend says the goal scored by the Gabon international makes him have a feel of the former striker, Thierry Henry in the game.

He suggested that Arsenal might have secured a replacement for the Frenchman.

The former Arsenal defender stated that the way Aubameyang drifted in and curls the ball with his right foot makes him think of Henry.

He described the player as having the belief and confidence to have scored the goal in that manner.

Keown says the new shape of the player is important for Arsenal to score more goals.

Aubameyang came with lots of promise when came in January by scoring some goals but that as not been fully evident this season as he is yet to deliver goals as expected.

So far, the former Borussia Dortmund striker has seen the back of the net just once in this current Premier League campaign.
