Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his first two goals for Barcelona in a convincing 4-1 win at Valencia on Sunday, lifting his side to fourth place in La Liga, APAsport reports citing The Guardian.
It was the eighth and ninth goals of the season for the former Arsenal striker, who last found the net in October in the Gunners’ 3-1 win against Aston Villa.
Frenkie de Jong scored the second goal for Barcelona, who looked much improved after struggling at the start of the campaign in the wake of the departure of talisman Lionel Messi.
Initially, the fourth goal was attributed to Pedri, but when the referee issued his match report after the game, he switched it to Aubameyang as Pedri’s strike was deflected off the striker’s back on its way in. Carlos Soler scored a consolation goal for the locals.
The win lifted Barcelona into fourth place on 42 points from 24 games, tied with Atletico who is fifth on goal difference. Real Madrid top the table with 57 points.
