Axed Arsenal captain Aubameyang first player to leave Emirates stadium; did not celebrate Spurs win

Axed Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the first player to leave Emirates stadium after victory over Tottenham on Sunday.

Aubameyang reportedly left just 23 minutes after Arsenal's derby win over Tottenham in the wake of being dropped for the match for turning up late to a team meeting.

The Gunners captain was set to start Sunday's north London derby but turned up late to the team meeting, leaving Mikel Arteta no choice but to drop him from the line-up.

Arsenal players were asked to make their own way to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but Aubameyang left his team-mates and coaches waiting by turning up to the ground in his holographic chrome-wrapped Ferrari after the meet time.

The Athletic reports Aubameyang took no time to leave the Emirates Stadium in his expensive sports car and did not do a post-match warm down with the rest of the unused substitutes from Sunday's win over Tottenham.

The report also says the Gabon forward chose not to celebrate with his team-mates on the pitch after beating Tottenham and was one of the first players to go down the tunnel at the full-time whistle.
