Ian Wright says he feels for Aubameyang after he was subbed off at half-time last night

Aubameyang was handed 🃏his first start for Chelsea in months last night. The last time he was given a nod in the Premier League from the first whistle was in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge.

He lasted a little more than an hour in that game, but he offered nothing last🀅 night, and that left Lampard with no choice but to get him out of the side at the break.

Arsenal fans were delighted to see the board come up with Aubameyang’s number just before the start of the second half. There was a big cheer at the Emirates when that happened.

Arsenal legend Wright was asked about Aubameyang’s substitution as it happened atꦏ half-time on Premier League♔ Productions last night.

He claimed thatꦍ he feels sorry for the Gabon international.

“I feel for him.꧅ Coming back to Arsenal, it’s a bit embarrassing for him (to get subs🧔tituted at half-time),” Wright .

TBR View:

Aubameyang’s £12 million () move to Chelsea has been a disastro🅘us one.

The Gabon star has scored just three goals in 21 appearances for the Blues, two of which came in the Champi﷽ons League group stage💃.

He lo♔oks like a shadow of his former self at Stamford Bridg🍨e, and it’s almost certain now that he will leave the club in the summer transfer window.

It will be interꦆesting to see if Lampard gives him another opportunity against Bournemouth this weekend.
