A miserable night for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was summed up by one brutal stat as Chelsea were humbled by Arsenal at the Emirates.
Back at the venue where he was one revered, Aubameyang was surprisingly named in Frank Lampard's XI, signifying just his fifth Premier League start for the Blues, and his first since before the World Cup. But any hopes the away fans had of him inspiring a turnaround their fortunes had all but evaporated by half time.
Interim boss Lampard had justified his call before the game be referencing the Gabon international's cameo off the bench last time out, telling reporters: "He’s shown a little bit of that (sharpness) against Brentford, and he’s a reference, he’s got a history of scoring goals, may be motivation for him to play here."
