Aubameyang watches Arsenal reach Europa League last-16 with girlfriend and kids

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may be cup-tied for Arsenal in European competition but the Gabon striker spurred his team-mates on alongside his wife and kids on Thursday.

Arsene Wenger's side welcomed Swedish minnows Ostersund to the Emirates after a comfortable 3-0 win away in the first leg.

But it was a far more testing affair in north London as the visitors scored twice to set hearts racing among Aubameyang and the rest of the home supporters, only for defender Sead Kolasinac to ensure the Premier League side progressed to the last-16.

Aubameyang cut a relaxed figure alongside model girlfriend Alysha Behague and their two children as they watched from the warmth of an executive box.

He wore a Nike jumper with some black jogging pants for the disappointing European night.

The extravagant striker let fans in on his experience through his Instagram story where his sons Curtys and Pierre Jnr, both clad in Arsenal merchandise, featured.

With Arsenal looking short of ideas in attacking areas, the return of Aubameyang for Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City will come as a welcome boost.

It will be Aubameyang's second trip to Wembley in an Arsenal shirt having started the north London derby defeat to Tottenham recently and he will expect to deliver a better showing for the cup final.

The Gabon striker has looked lively since his January move from Borussia Dortmund to the Emirates and will be expected to bring goals to Wenger's team as they bid for a top-four finish.
