The Alexis Sanchez saga finally came to a close last month when Arsenal succumbed to the Chilean's expiring contract and brokered a swap deal with Manchester United playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Days later, the Armenian's former Dortmund team-mate Pierre Aubameyang secured a £60m move to the Emirates, reuniting the formidable partnership that scored 36 goals and created 20 assists in the Bundesliga during 2015/16 season. That season, they were also the only combination in the league to provide three assists for each other's goals.
The pair started together for the first time in nearly two years against Everton last weekend and rekindled their devastating link-up play, with Mkhitaryan threading the pass for Aubameyang to chip Jordan Pickford thereby netting his debut goal. Mkhitaryan provided a hat-trick of assists during the 5-1 destruction of Everton.
Alex Iwobi (17) passed to Mkhitaryan (7), who slid a through ball for Aubameyang (14) to score on his debut - despite appearing to be offside.
