Arsenal striker Aubameyang: Ljungberg told us to raise the tempo

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed Freddie Ljungberg's instructions at half-time against West Ham United.

The Gunners were behind 1-0 at the interval after dreadful first-half.

But three goals in nine minutes during the second stanza saw them ending their longest winless run since 1977.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Aubameyang said: "We feel good. I think we played well in the second half so we are happy to win this game. We tried to put some tempo in the game and to play fast and find spaces, and we did that.

"At half-time, Freddie [Ljunberg] told us to play with a higher tempo. It was tough but we have the quality in the squad, and if we believe in ourselves, we can go forward and win games. We will take this second half as an example for the rest of the season."
