PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has responded to an Arsenal fan’s social media post sympathising with him after a video mocking his latest Chelsea performance went viral.
The striker returned to the Emirates on Tuesday night with his new team but had a miserable evening to forget.

Aubameyang touched the ball just nine times, including four kick-offs, before being hooked at half-time with his side trailing 3-0.
Following Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat, a video made by an Arsenal fan mocking Aubameyang’s display went viral on Twitter.
One fan felt sympathy for the 33-year-old, however, writing: “Honestly feel so bad for him.
“Always positive, almost lost his mother, caught malaria, toxic end at Arsenal, went to Barca and got his house robbed, now gone to Chelsea and not playing at all.
“Was made fun of at Stamford Bridge by our players and now booed by fans that he loved.”
The tweet gained some traction and was re-posted on Instagram, with Aubameyang himself tagged.
It featured the caption: “No matter what I’ll always love you Auba.”
Seeing the post, Aubameyang commented: “You know sometimes people forget what’s the real life and forget about how you can’t control what’s happened.”
The forward scored 92 goals in 163 games for Arsenal before being frozen out by Mikel Arteta during the first half of last season.
He subsequently signed for Barcelona in January 2022, before the cash-strapped LaLiga side flogged him to Chelsea last summer.
In 21 appearances for the Blues he has scored just three goals – although Tuesday night’s trip to North London was just his fifth Premier League start of the campaign.
