Arsenal matchwinner Aubameyang: I need the fans; they gave me energy

Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was happy to prove the matchwinner against Norwich City on Saturday.

But he admitted that it meant more than most as it secured our first Premier League win of the campaign in front of a packed crowd.

"Ahh, I'm really happy," he told Arsenal Media. "When [the fans] are here, you feel them. This is a great feeling and we are happy today to win this game.

"We've needed the fans for a long time. Personally I'm just happy that they are here. This always gives you something as a plus. I think it's a bonus. When you're a player, it gives you energy, a lot of energy, even when it's tough. They give you something to make the difference.

"I think it was a tough game but everyone gave everything on the pitch. Maybe we could be more clinical, because we had a lot of chances at the end, but the most important thing today is three points - and we did it."
