Humiliation for Chelsea star Aubameyang as he’s taken off AFTER being subbed on with team desperate for goal vs Man City
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG'S Chelsea career has gone from bad to worse after he was hauled off the pitch despite being introduced as a first-half substitute against Manchester City.
Aubameyang, 33, joined the Blues in the summer when Thomas Tuchel was in charge.
But under new boss Graham Potter, Aubameyang has struggled to find his feet in front of goal.
He has just three goals across all competitions this season and has started Chelsea's last four Premier League games on the bench.
But as defending Premier League champions Man City came to town, Aubameyang was called into action within minutes of kick-off after Raheem Sterling picked up an injury.
The goal-shy forward lasted just over an hour, managing just 14 touches, and registering ZERO shots.
