Arsenal youngster Azeez hails Aubameyang after striker's hat-trick in 6-0 rout of WBA

Published: August 26, 2021

Nigeria-eligible midfielder Miguel Azeez has congratulated Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after the Arsenal captain bagged a hat-trick in their 6-0 rout of West Brom in a Carabao Cup second round clash on Wednesday night.

No player of Nigerian descent was on parade at The Hawthorns, with Super Eagles center-back Semi Ajayi not selected to face his old club, while Folarin Balogun, Arthur Okonkwo and Azeez were not picked by manager Mikel Arteta.

Aubameyang scored Arsenal's first, second and fifth goals to go home with the match ball and provided the assist for the third goal netted by Nicolas Pepe.

Last night's win gives breathing space to Arsenal who made a faltering start to the domestic season after losing two of their first two games in the Premier League.

Aubameyang posted on Instagram shortly after the game : "A bit of happiness. Thanks to the Fans That came and supported us".

Replying to Aubameyang's post, Azeez was in awe of the performance of the Gabon star and used emojis to express his feelings.

The 18-year-old posted : "😍🔥".

Azeez is making huge strides at Arsenal; the promising teenager trained with the first team in pre-season and has captained the U23s in their first two competitive matches of the new season.
