Emile Smith Rowe gave Arsenal the lead in controversial circumstances, before Bruno Fernandes and Ronaldo turned the game around.
Although Martin Odegaard equalised for Mikel Arteta's side shortly afterwards, the Norwegian fouled Fred in the box and 36-year-old Ronaldo scored the resulting penalty, which proved the winning goal.
Skipper Aubameyang, the club's top scorer this season, was surprisingly taken off with 15 minutes left.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, on punditry for Amazon, said after the game he was baffled by the decision to sub him off and said the move suggested 'something was not right'.
