Arsenal fans notice what Matteo Guendouzi said to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after Villa winner

It was a moment filled with ecstasy and relief, but one Arsenal star was keen to avoid getting caught up in the moment.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's late strike against Aston Villa was exactly what was needed to get the Gunners out of jail following a flat performance against the newly-promoted side.

It was a game where Arsenal were behind twice, and the striker's free-kick worked wonders to spare the blushes of the Arsenal players and Unai Emery.

But while Aubameyang and the rest of the Emirates Stadium were filled with jubilation, it was Arsenal's young midfielder who called for calm.

Matteo Guendouzi has been a real success story for the Gunners over the last year, and has gone from strength to strength so far this season as he establishes himself as one of the first names on Emery's teamsheet.

While he was keen to get involved with the celebrations, one supporter noticed what he said to Aubameyang in the aftermath of his strike against Villa.

Guendouzi can be seen telling the Gabon striker to concentrate as he gestured towards his head.  

A real criticism of the Gunners in recent seasons has been the lack of leaders within the squad, but it seems that the 20-year-old could be ready to take on the role for himself.

If the midfielder continues to improve at this rate while putting in the same level of mature performances, it may be the case that Arsenal have more than a hot prospect on their hands.

Perhaps the Gunners are looking at a future club captain.
