Former Chelsea player is Europa highest goal scorer

Former Chelsea and Arsenal star, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has emerged as the UEFA Europa League’s all-time top goalscorer, equalling the record set by former Manchester United star, Radamel Falcao.

Aubameyang attained the feat with Olympique Marseille’s 2-2 draw at Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday evening.

Aubameyang, who also played Barcelona, scored the opening goal as Marseille drew with Shakhtar Donetsk.

He has now scored 30 times in the Europa League during his career.

Aubameyang has made 54 appearances, scoring for Borussia Dortmund (8), Arsenal (14), Barcelona (2), and Marseille (6).

However, this latest record doesn’t take into account goals from before the Europa League was rebranded from the UEFA Cup.

If it did, then former Manchester United star Henrik Larsson would remain the top scorer, but only just with his 31 goals placing him just one ahead of Aubameyang, Falcao and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
