Arsenal will fine Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after turning up late when Arsenal's squad met for the north London derby on Sunday.

Aubameyang was punished immediately by manager Mikel Arteta, who made the bold call to drop his captain for Arsenal's clash with their biggest rivals Tottenham.

The Gabon striker was an unused substitute at the Emirates and watched on as stand-in skipper Alexandre Lacazette scored Arsenal's winner from the penalty spot in a 2-1 victory.

And Aubameyang is facing a fine to go with his benching, following his breach of club rules, as this is not the first time he has been late, reports the Daily Mail.

Arteta's decision was a big one due to Aubameyang's status and form — he has scored nine goals in his previous 12 games.

But the Arsenal manager has taken a hardline stance on dressing-room discipline and said: 'I made what I thought was the right decision.

'(Behavioural standards) is the foundation and the platform that we can build something medium and long term that is sustainable. That's why I keep talking about it and acting on it.'
