ARSENAL players SURROUNDED former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in their wild goal celebrations against Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta‘s men returned back to the top of the Premier League following a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Aubameyang was surrounded by ex-team-mates after Arsenal scored against Chelsea
Defender Gabriel stabbed home from point-blank range to wrap up three points.
And as Arsenal players went off to celebrate with the travelling Gunners fans, they surrounded their former captain Aubameyang, who now plays for Chelsea.
One fan said on Tik Tok: “Aubameyang is one of the most unlikeable football players I’ve ever seen.”
Another said: “Aubameyang wished he was part of the celebration.”
Aubameyang started the game but was unable to make an impact, and he was subbed off for Armando Broja with less than half an hour to go.
In the build-up to the match, a BT Sport promotional video of the Premier League fixture caused quite the stir.
He said: “Arsenal, nothing personal. I’m back. I’m blue. I’m ready. Let’s go.”
Aubameyang, of course, left Arsenal in explosive fashion at the start of the year following a bitter falling out with manager Arteta.

The Gabon striker, 33, joined Barcelona, where he was an instant success.
But following the summer arrival of Ballon d’Or 2021 runner-up Robert Lewandowski, Aubameyang was shipped out of the Camp Nou, returning to London, but the blue side to play for Chelsea – a move that didn’t go down well with Arsenal fans.
Aubameyang made no secret of his opinions on Arteta, saying the Spaniard couldn’t handle big players.
In a viral video, Aubameyang said on Arteta: “Big characters and big players…he [Arteta] can’t deal with it.
“He needs some young players who don’t say anything. They listen.”
