Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got his first goal in a Chelsea shirt in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
Aubameyang scored Chelsea’s first goal which drew the scores level.
It was indeed a fantastic finish, as the Gabon international converted a header from Thiago Silva, with a fine turn and a brilliant finish.
Aubameyang has credited the goal to Thiago Silva, as he revealed the advice the Brazilian gave him before the goal.
“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. Thiago told me to go inside [the defender] because he thought Reece was going to play long,” he said.
“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’!”
