Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 37, joins Jude Bellingham with goal in first four LaLiga matches

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continued his strong start at Deportivo La Coruña as he scored for the fourth LaLiga match in a row.

Aubameyang made the switch to the newly-promoted La Liga side in the summer after a second spell at Marseille.

Having found the net in their first three league matches, he then scored the decisive goal on Saturday at Villarreal in a 3-2 away win.

The former Gabon international showed his pace and athleticism of old as he ran onto a loose defensive pass in midfield, before taking it into the area and finishing one-on-one. He celebrated the goal with a trademark front flip.

At 37 years and 79 days of age, he became the oldest player since 2000 with a goal contribution each of his first four La Liga appearances at a single club.

He also became the first player to score in the first four matches of a Spanish top-flight season since Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham managed it in 2023-24.

Deportivo finished second in the Segunda División last year, achieving automatic promotion, and are since undefeated as they vie to stay up, with two wins and two draws.

Speaking after Saturday's game, Deportivo boss Antonio Hidalgo heaped the praise on Aubameyang, who will likely have played a huge role should Deportivo ultimately stay up.

"What Aubameyang is doing is absolutely crazy," he said. "He never misses a training session and works harder than anyone. He has a special talent.

"We're a little closer to survival. We're a newly promoted team, and this [season] is going to be long."
