Deportivo forward Aubameyang scores for third straight game at start of Spanish league season

LA CORUÑA, Spain (AP) — Deportivo La Coruna's forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored three times in a row at the start of the Spanish league season. The Gabon international, who transferred from Marseille earlier this year, put his new team ahead with a goal after a swift counterattack. Aubameyang outmaneuvered two defenders before netting, then chipped the ball over the goalkeeper. The match concluded 3-1, marking Deportivo's first victory since returning to La Liga.

Aubameyang's impressive form continued, netting earlier in the game as Deportivo claimed 2-0 victories over Valencia. The 37-year-old has previously scored for the promoted side in 1-1 draws with Elche and Malaga. Before his move to Marseille, Aubameyang enjoyed successful stints at Chelsea, Barcelona, and Arsenal following his time at Borussia Dortmund.
