Arsenal captain Aubameyang lifts lid on mask celebration

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has lifted the lid on his mask celebration last season.

Aubameyang revealed the story behind his mask celebration against Rennes in the Europa League.

He said: "I used the kitman (Paul Akers), I put the mask there for the game before against Manchester United because I wanted to score against United, but somebody took it and put it in a different place.

"After the penalty against United I looked up and it wasn't there.'"

Aubameyang has scored 20 goals this season.
