Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has conceded he's struggled in front of goal for Arsenal this season.

The Gunners captain, the club's talisman last season as they won the FA Cup, has scored just three league goals this term, with a particular low point coming against Burnley last month when he scored the decisive goal at the wrong end.

"From the beginning of this season I was struggling a lot but I think this is part of football," Aubameyang told Sky Sports.

"We gave a lot at the end of the season to win the FA Cup and to qualify for the Europa League because it was really important for the club.

"Sometimes you have ups and downs and you have to manage as best you can. I tried my best and until now it was not the best performance from me. I'm still positive. I think I can turn this around."

He added: "If we win the couple of games that are coming we can turn around the situation. We are not so far from the top six so this is the moment to be back in the competition."
