Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'did Garnacho' Arsenal fans say he has a better head than Manchester United
It was a fantastic week for fans with overhead as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang followed in the footsteps of Alejandro Garnacho to score his own superb goal for Marseille.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a brilliant overhead goal after Alejandro Garnacho against Everton and scored a goal for Marseille.
Last weekend, Garnacho scored what could be the Premier League's goal at the end of the 2023 24 season when the Manchester United winger sent the social ** into a meltdown with a sensational overhead against the Toffees.
The Argentine's goal against Everton may have inspired former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to finish his own overhead against Ajax in Marseille in the Europa League.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick as Ligue 1 sides beat Ajax 1-4 on Thursday night, including a third-minute penalty that put Marseille top of Group B ahead of second-placed Brighton into their final group fixture.
But it was his second goal after half-time, the most impressive of his hat-tricks. Winger Amin Harriet crossed from the touchline and headed the ball towards the edge of the six-yard box, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the nearest player.
However, the 34-year-old had to adjust his position, meaning the only way he could score from Harriet's cross was to deliver a bike kick – which is exactly what he did. The Marseille striker's acrobatic shot was hit and Ajax's Diant Ramaj had zero chance to save.
For most fans who have seen Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Garnacho score, the latter is considered the better of the two sensational goals. However, that hasn't stopped some Arsenal fans from trying to claim on social ** that their former captain's goal was even more impressive.
One fan commented on X (ex-Twitter): "Unpopular opinion, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plays better than Garnacho. The second added: "Aubameyang's goal for Marseille is very clear with Garnacho's", and the third wrote: "Aubameyang is cooking there. Better than Garnacho in my book.
