Arsenal Star Aubameyang Matches Sanchez's Goalscoring Feat At Wembley


Saturday's opener in the Community Shield made the Gabonese forward match a club record set by the former Gunners attacker

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's opener against Liverpool in the FA Community Shield made him Arsenal's joint top scorer at Wembley Stadium with Alexis Sanchez.

The strike was his fifth goal at Wembley in 42 days and it made him the club’s highest-scoring player in the stadium with Sanchez.

The Chilean star also scored five goals for the Gunners in the London stadium before departing for Manchester United in 2018.

Aubameyang got Mikel Arteta's men off to a flying start in London on Saturday with his fine strike from just outside of the penalty area in the 12th minute.

Back in July, the 2015 African Footballer of the Year scored a brace against Manchester City at Wembley in a FA Cup semi-final contest and he also notched a double against Chelsea at the same venue to secure the Gunners' record FA Cup title earlier this month.

Anglo-Nigerian Bukayo Saka, Egypt's Mohamed Elneny, Ghanaian descent player Eddie Nketiah joined Aubameyang in the starting XI as the Gunners aim to start the 2020-21 campaign with silverware.

Saka assisted Aubameyang for the opening goal, a contribution that stretched the 18-year-old's tally to 13 assists since the start of last season.

He ranks third behind Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne (22) and Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold (15) among Premier League players who created the most assists since August 2019.

UNSATISFIED Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Sarcastically Responds To 87-Rated FIFA 21 Card As Arsenal Talisman Receives Same Rating As Last Year

It’s safe to say Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang isn’t very happy about his FIFA 21 rating. The Gunners’ talisman has been handed an 87 rating for the new edition of the game – the same rating he was in FIFA 19. And the Gabon international has sarcastically responded to his card with a laughing face emoji. Aubameyang had another superb season for the Gunners, hitting 22 Premier League goals for Mikel Arteta’s side – the same he managed last year. However, the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph, netting a brace against Chelsea to seal a first trophy in management for Arteta. Meanwhile, it is understood Aubameyang will ‘imminently’ sign a new three-year contract at the Emirates. It is understood he will become the club’s highest earner on his new deal, surpassing Mesut Ozil’s reported £350,000-a-week wages. The report adds Arteta has been integral in talks to keep the 31-year-old striker in north London. Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is believed to ha...

'I Cried A Lot' - Arsenal Star Martinelli Opens Up On Knee Injury That 'Broke' Him

 The 19-year-old attacker has said that manager Mikel Arteta was a great support as he was returning to fitness. Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has admitted that the horror knee injury he suffered in June caused him a huge amount of pain both physically and emotionally. The young wide player sustained the issue during training, and though it did not feel like anything at first, it required surgery. After missing several months with the injury, Martinelli is now only finding his way back into competitive football. I was about to receive the ball and felt a little pain on my knee,” he told the Daily Mail. "Not enough for me to stop practising, but, while we were on the finishing session, I told them that I was in pain. They told me to rest and, if I felt the pain the next day, to let them know. “When I woke up, I felt it but I was able to walk. I thought it was nothing at first, but it was a pain I'd never felt before. I went to the club for the examinations and they said i...
