  • Arsenal players ensured that they rubbed their recent upturn of fortunes to the face of their former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
  • Mikel Arteta's men appeared to bombard Aubameyang as they celebrated Gabriel Magalhaes's goal, which turned out to be the difference between the two teams
  • Aubameyang left Arsenal under very shady circumstances after a bitter fallout with Arteta

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang endured a torrid afternoon when his former side, Arsenal, visited Stamford Bridge on November 6th, 2022.

In the prematch hype, Aubameyang had recorded a message and told Arsenal fans that it was nothing personal, but he was Chelsea(a blue) player now.

The Gabonese striker's departure from Arsenal in January remains shrouded in controversy. Head Coach Mikel Arteta stripped him of captaincy duties, citing indiscipline issues.

Aubameyang shined at Barcelona

He then forced a move to Barcelona, where he had instant success scoring more than 10 goals in 6 months. He, however, had to make way after the Catalan giants signed Robert Lewandowski.

His time at Chelsea has been below par as the Blues now face their first serious dip in form under Graham Potter. Against Arsenal, he was kept quiet for the entire 64 minutes he was on the pitch. Goal reports that he only had 8 touches.

After Gabriel Magalhaes turned in Bukayo Saka's teasing delivery, Arsenal fans quickly appeared to mill around Aubameyang before racing to the corner flag to celebrate. In a video spotted by Sports Brief, Aubameyang was at one point sandwiched by the Arsenal players as he made his way back to the centre of the pitch.

Whether it was by design or a coincidence, it doesn't matter, Aubameyang must have gotten the message loud and clear: nothing personal.

Gabriel brutally mocked Aubameyang on Twitter

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes had aimed a cheeky dig at former teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang following their Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Aubameyang was involved in an awkward reunion with the Gunners on Sunday, November 6, as the Mikel Arteta-tutored side faced off against the Blues.

This was Auba's first encounter against his former side, months after he left the Emirates Stadium following his fallout with Arteta.
