How significant was Arsenal's victory against Watford?
Arsenal have won at Watford and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's score of the only goal is waiting to speak to us live from Vicarage Road. Congratulations, Pierre. Just how significant a victory does that feel for Arsenal tonight, away from home?
Good evening and thanks. Yeah, it feels good tonight because we know that away is always difficult for us, but today the team did a great job and everybody fought to have these three points and tonight we are really happy.
Did you speak before the game, Pierre, about how hard you would have to fight, how competitive this game was going to be against Watford?
Yeah, we knew that it would be a tough game and I think everybody knows what's the goal, what's the target for us this season to get the top four and we knew that this game is really important to stay in the competition for the top four and everybody fought today and we did a great job.
Pierre, looking at your goal again, when did you feel you had a real chance of making the block when it went back to the goalkeeper?
What are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's thoughts on his goal?
Because we saw the face you pulled chasing that ball. You always felt confident you could get there.
Yeah, sure. I was confident. It's a long time I want to score a goal like this. And tonight it went through.
How does Arsenal aim to secure a top-four finish this season?
So, yeah, I was confident because normally keepers, they don't really know if you are coming back to them. And, yeah, tonight it was a good goal. For me, I like it. So, that's it.
Pierre, you've scored 18 goals now in the Premier League. Do you fancy your chances of catching Mo Salah and Sergio Aguero?
Yeah, why not? Why not? You know, I feel confident and the race is going on. And I know it's a tough battle, but I'm confident and I will carry on.
Why do strikers like scoring goals like you scored tonight, Pierre? I thought everyone wanted to score like Mo Salah did yesterday.
Yeah, OK. It was a great goal from Mo Salah. Unbelievable goal, but I like sometimes... OK, it's not maybe an easy goal, but it was maybe easier than Mo.
Pierre, you've got a great goalscoring record since you came to Arsenal last January. How are you finding playing in the Premier League for the first time?
No, I feel good.
What challenges does Ole Gunnar Solskjaer face at Manchester United?
You know it's tough to play in the Premier League and as we can see tonight it was a tough game. You have to fight every game. But I feel well, I feel good and I'm feeling well in the team. Since I'm here I'm really, really happy that I'm working good.
Pierre, you played on your own tonight as a single striker. Do you prefer that or do you prefer playing up front with a partner like Lacazette?
Everybody knows that I like to play with Laka because we have a great partnership, but sometimes one plays and the other stays on the bench. It's like that, you have to fight for the team. I think you know that I like to play with two strikers, but I don't want to say it because the coach will be a bit upset.
You just have to say it!
Well, listen, you had to hang on a little bit in that second half, Pierre, but how much confidence will this give the team now? Because you've got some really big away games to come between now and the end of the season.
How did Watford respond to their loss against Arsenal?
Yeah, I think these three points give us a lot of confidence because now we know that we can win games away. And we have two more games at home, but most of the games we will play away. So that's great tonight to win three points and to go home with this victory.
Pierre, thank you very much. Congratulations again tonight, 18, for the season.
Thank you.
He's chasing them hard, isn't he?
What are the implications of the red card for Watford's performance?
It does seem, I think you get the same answer when we ask both of them, they do like to play together, but how effective was he tonight?
He was. I think on the goal, we'll talk about the goalkeeper's mistake, we'll look at it shortly, but I think he was really brave. People may think I was just blocking a shot. Sometimes you sort of dangle an ankle out there, a keeper's coming through, he's absolutely trying to blast, he's going to follow through as well. A lot of strikers actually think... I know people might say, well, get a little touch, it goes in, but I think he was quite brave there.
