Gunners boss to fine his captain

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG is set to be fined after turning up late when Arsenal’s squad met for the North London derby. Aubameyang (above) was punished immediately by manager Mikel Arteta, who made the bold call to drop his captain for Arsenal’s clash with Tottenham, their biggest rivals. 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. Arteta 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 on that is sustainable, that can bring us joy. That’s why I keep talking about it and acting on it. ‘We have a way of living together that we have to respect each other and that’s it.’
