Aubameyang set a new Arsenal record in the win over Cardiff with his converted penalty, becoming the fastest Gunner in history to reach 25 goals:
Attacking partner Alexandre Lacazette also got on the scoresheet, and the second goal proved to be crucial, as lowly Cardiff hit back late through Nathaniel Mendez-Laing. Despite the setback, the Gunners held on for the win, which was more than the other clubs in the top six could say on Tuesday.
The Citizens knew going into the match against Newcastle they had a good chance of putting up some goals, courtesy of Aguero's strong record against the Magpies:
He wasted no time, getting his goal in the opening minute, but the defending champions grew complacent after that. City played with almost no intensity, even after Salomon Rondon and Matt Ritchie turned the situation around for the hosts.
United did fight back after two setbacks, coming back from two goals down to secure a draw in the final minutes. Pogba converted from the penalty spot, and Victor Lindelof got his first for the Red Devils, who saw their eight-match win streak in all competitions snapped.
Pogba continues to display great scoring form under the new boss:
Everton lost Lucas Digne to a straight red card but still bagged a crucial win over Huddersfield thanks to an early Richarlison goal. Over at Craven Cottage, Fulham went down by two goals only to complete an unlikely comeback, with Mitrovic scoring twice.
It was a much-needed result in the race against relegation, but the Cottagers still need plenty more of those to avoid the drop.
