'Not as good as Garnacho?' Former Arsenal ST scores hat-trick with fantastic overhead kick!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a stunning overhead kick to rival Alejandro Garnacho's.

Marseille defeated Ajax 4-3 in the fifth leg of their UEFA Europa League Group B match of the 2023-24 season at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, France, at 5:00 a.m. ET today. The win keeps Marseille atop the group with 11 points.

Marseille needed to stay on top of the group and Ajax needed to move out of last place. Both teams battled back and forth. Marseille took the lead in the seventh minute when Ismaila Sarr received the ball on the right flank and broke through, earning a penalty kick (PK) that Aubameyang neatly finished.

However, they were immediately hit back. In the 10th minute, Brian Brovy leveled the game after a 2-on-1 with Steven Berhuis that left the defense completely open. 토토사이트

From there, both teams traded goals. In the 26th minute, Chancel Mbemba headed home a corner kick from Jonathan Klaus to put the hosts back in front, but four minutes later, Brovi equalized once again, and the first half ended with a whopping four goals.

The second half was a one-man show for Aubameyang. Two minutes into the second half, Amin Harriott won the ball on the right flank and crossed for Aubameyang in the box, who finished with a stunning overhead kick. It was as spectacular as Manchester United's Garnacho's goal against Everton. Ajax's Chuba Akpom pulled a goal back to level the scores, but it was Aubameyang who finished off the PK in stoppage time to secure the 4-3 victory.

Aubameyang's 'hat-trick' performance was nothing short of spectacular. Playing 89 minutes, Aubameyang scored three goals despite having an Expected Value of 1.82 for the game, according to SoccerScore, and the media recognized his performance by giving him a 9.0 rating, the highest for either team.

His second goal in particular was nothing short of spectacular. Britain's Talk Sport said, "Aubameyang scored the goal of the game at the start of the second half. It was a fantastic goal that came just four days after Garnacho scored a similar goal for Manchester United."

Marseille secured their place in the round of 16 with the win. They will now face Brighton in the last six for the top spot in the group.
