Aubameyang speaks on his first goal for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang couldn’t hide his excitement after he finally netted his first Chelsea goal which helped the Blues to victory at Crystal Palace this weekend.

Aubameyang, who joined the Blues from Spanish side Barcelona in the recent summer window spoke about the goal and how Thiago Silva helped him.

‘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,’ the striker explained.

‘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.’
