Former Chelsea forward Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink alleged that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's teammates failed him during Sunday's 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal.
In the 64 minutes he played for Chelsea against Arsenal before being replaced by Armando Broja in the second half, Aubameyang only had eight touches.
Hasselbaink, however, asserts that there were a few instances during the match when Aubameyang made a good run but the ball did not reach him.
He emphasized how, in the opening period, the former Barcelona attacker might have had a good opportunity had Kai Havertz not crossed the ball to an open space.
Hasselbaink stated to Premier League Productions, "We were talking about Aubameyang's having only scored one goal [in the league] so far.
But [during the game against Arsenal] he [did] everything right. He was in the middle of the goal; he stopped and checked.
“He only needed that yard, that yard that [Manchester City’s Erling] Haaland gets."
“But his [Haaland] teammates find him, and he just has to find the corner [of the goal].
“That’s the difference.”
