Match Report
Having opted to recall Mesut Ozil to his starting line-up in one of three changes, Arteta saw his side fall behind to Dan Gosling's goal 10 minutes before half-time.
However, Aubameyang tucked in a second-half leveller to ensure Arteta gained a point in his debut as a head coach.

81' OFFSIDE! Wilson scores but goal is disallowed
Harry Wilson cuts inside and beyond both Saka and Aubameyang before seeing a low, curling shot well saved by Leno. Callum Wilson is alert to turn in the rebound but, after the flag went up and VAR was checked to confirm the decision, the goal is ruled out for offside.
