Aubameyang in the same league as Anelka, claims BBC pundit
BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks compared Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Nicolas Anelka after their 5-0 win against Burnley.
Aubameyang scored twice as the Gunners secured a rout in Arsene Wenger’s final home game in charge of the club.
“I think it was fitting that Arsene Wenger’s last signing as Arsenal manager should open and finish the celebrations in his last match at Emirates Stadium,” Crooks told BBC Sport.
“Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two well-taken goals and is the sort of player that fits Wenger’s criteria perfectly.
“Not all of Wenger’s signings have been completely successful or totally welcome. Who can forget the furore that accompanied Danny Welbeck’s arrival?
“However, Aubameyang is in a different class. A finisher in the Nicolas Anelka league. What a wonderful note to finish on.”
