'Striker's finish': Aubameyang gives Thiago Silva credit for first Chelsea goal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has explained how Thiago Silva helped him open his goalscoring account for Chelsea.

“When you are a striker, you are always looking for your first goal so to score early into my career at Chelsea is a huge relief. Thiago told me to go inside [the defender] because he thought Reece was going to play long," he said.

"So I went inside, I turned my body and I used the defender a little bit to create some space and then I managed to find the corner. It was what I like to call a ‘striker’s finish’!”

Auba opened the scoring for the Blues in the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace. Conor Gallagher notched the winner.


The ex-Arsenal man could do with more inspiration from his Brazilian teammate as Chelsea return to the Champions League on Wednesday.
