Aubameyang has reawakened his killer instinct. Watch his first goal for Chelsea
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back in London after half a season in Barcelona, but this time he is wearing the Chelsea jersey, for which he played his first league game this Saturday. And it was a good debut, as he managed to level the match at 1-1 in the first half.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back in London after half a season in Barcelona, but this time he is wearing the Chelsea jersey, for which he played his first league game this Saturday. And it was a good debut, as he managed to level the match at 1-1 in the first half.
The match against Crystal Palace was not the first game for the Gabonese striker in a Blues jersey, as he has already played two matches in the Champions League. However, he failed to make an impact against Dinamo Zagreb and RB Salzburg, earning just a point for his teammates in a draw with the Austrian side.
However, the match against the London rival did not go well either, as the active charges of coach Patrick Vieira attacked their opponents with all their might, with Odsonne Édouard scoring in the 7th minute.
However, Chelsea then took the reins of the game and even achieved just under 73% ball possession in the first half. It was a goalless draw, however, as Édouard’s opening goal was answered by the aforementioned Aubameyang, who equalised from the turn to make it 1-1.
the 33-year-old striker thus scored again in the Premier League after almost a year. The last time he scored a goal was on 22 October last year, when he scored against Aston Villa.
There was not nearly as much going on in the second half as in the first, to which coach Graham Potter responded by sending on Armand Broja to replace Aubameyang. Much more important, however, was the substitution of Conor Gallagher, who replaced Kai Havertz.
Chelsea continued to be the more dominant team and their activity paid off in the end when it was Callagher who decided the visitors’ victory in the 90th minute.
The Blues, led by Aubameyang, can continue to shine in their double-header with AC Milan, who split next weekend’s clash with Wolves.
