Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got so excited by his recent goalscoring spree (four goals in four matches) that cameras caught him flying on a North London motorway at 160 km/h (99 mph).

All jokes aside, Aubameyang committed a serious traffic offense. When stopped and asked why he was speeding, the Gabon native made no reply. He was fined €1400 (£1250) and racked up six penalty points on his driver’s license. Aubameyang’s lawyer Robert Morris said the striker was sorry and had no excuse for what he did. Considering he earns €200.000 (£180.000) per week, this ticket is nothing more than a scratch on the chin.

The Gunners’ ace was driving his €300.000 (£270.000) Lamborghini Aventador when an M1 speed camera snapped him. It is the car he drives to practice and one from his incredible car collection which includes a Porsche, Ferrari and a gold Range Rover (among many others). He was lucky to avoid a more severe punishment, as former Arsenal and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole was banned from driving for four months in 2010 for going 167 km/h (104 mph) on a motorway. At the time, Cole claimed he was evading paparazzi.

Next up for Arsenal
On the pitch, Aubameyang’s Arsenal is getting ready to face Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. However, Unai Emery might very well rest his star striker ahead of a weekend clash with Watford, which is then followed by a long trip to Azerbaijan to face Qarabag in the Europa League.
