Aubameyang bench was tactical - Mikel Arteta claims (Video)

Arsenal Striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found himself dropped to the bench again last night clash against Slavia Prague in the Europa League, but Mikel Arteta claims his decision was tactical.

Arsenal stuttered to a 1-1 draw at home in the Europa League first-leg last night, and naturally the team selection can come under scrutiny.

Mikel Arteta insists that his decision was down to tactics however, and not to do with timekeeping or any other issues like the clash with Tottenham some weeks back.

In hindsight the manager may regret not starting the Gabon international, but do we believe that Auba was simply dropped to make an impact off the bench?
