Aubameyang delighted to help Chelsea

Gabon international and striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Chelsea on deadline day from Barcelona. He on October 1, 2022, inspired Chelsea to a 2-1 comeback after scoring his first goal in a blue shirt.

Aubameyang was delighted to open his account and he was quick to explain how the bench reacted to Gallagher’s rocket, as well as reflecting on the game as a whole.

"When you are a striker, you are always looking for your first goal so to score early into my career at Chelsea is a huge relief," explained Aubameyang.

"Thiago told me to go inside [the defender] because he thought Reece was going to play long. So I went inside, I turned my body and I used the defender a little bit to create some space and then I managed to find the corner. It was what I like to call a ‘striker’s finish’!

"It was a really tough game but I think we had control of things and to get the win, I think it’s a great job from all the team.

"Conor’s goal was crazy! All of us on the bench, we were jumping up everywhere because it was an amazing finish, a brilliant goal and we are really happy with the three points." He concluded.

Chelsea will welcome AC Milan at Stamford Bridge on October 5 for the Champions League and Aubameyang is hoping to continue playing his part for Potter’s side in a congested run of fixtures ahead.
