Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted a brace in the Champions League against Newcastle United, and Arsenal fans have been hailing their former captain.

The former Arsenal striker netted twice in the second half to help Marseille come from behind to win 2-1 in the Champions League.

Aubameyang is enjoying a great season in France, having now produced eight goals and eight assists in 16 matches this term.

Following his latest outing against Newcastle United, Arsenal fans have been singing the praises of the 36-year-old.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores a brace in the Champions League

Arsenal fans have taken to social media to laud Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for scoring twice in the Champions League.

Glenn Hoddle couldn’t believe the quality of his second goal, stating: “My word, this is a centre forward’s goal. This is top top quality centre forward play.”

Aubameyang loved his time at Arsenal, making 163 appearances for the club, scoring 92 goals and producing 21 assists.

In 2020, Aubameyang lifted the FA Cup for Arsenal, which was a moment in which his footballing dreams came true.

Five years on, and the striker is still producing at the very top level with two massive goals against English opposition.

Following his brace, one fan said: “Auba has 16 G/A in 12 starts at 36 years old, and you all still question the player. He’s one of the greatest centre-forwards of his generation.”

“Funny how there’s still life in Aubameyang! Bet he scores against us when we visit. He’d probably still start for Arsenal,” claimed another

A third added: “Aubameyang, one of the greatest strikers of his generation, Arsenal hero in my eyes as well.

There was yet more praise for the former Arsenal captain: “Auba is one of the best goal scorers in history, man. More respect for his name.”

Finally, another stated: “He’s a cold finisher even at 36.”

The striker’s career at the Emirates Stadium came to an abrupt end after Mikel Arteta fell out with Aubameyang, and he ended up joining FC Barcelona.

Bukayo Saka loved Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at Arsenal

Bukayo Saka claims that Aubameyang and David Luiz are the two former teammates who have had the biggest influence on his career.

The 24-year-old was only just breaking into the first team when the pair were in N5, but they both played important roles in helping him settle in.

When asked about his favourite former teammate at Arsenal, Saka told BBC Sport: “It’s tough to say. I always speak about how much David Luiz and Aubameyang both helped me a lot coming into the team.

“The way they welcomed me. For me, I was quite quiet, obviously coming into Arsenal, these were my heroes, players that I was watching from the stands, and I get to play with them now.

“These guys just welcomed me, helped me feel myself and gave me advice. They gave me confidence that pushed me, and you could see it when I was on the pitch; it was definitely helped by them.”
