The Arsenal hitman has taken a light-hearted swipe at Tottenham Hotspur ace Harry Kane.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has joked on Instagram that he intends to claim Aaron Ramsey’s goal in Arsenal’s 4-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday, in an apparent swipe at Tottenham Hotspur hitman Harry Kane.
Ramsey sent Arsenal ahead on 82 minutes with a cross that deceived West Ham duo Declan Rice and Joe Hart, before Alexander Lacazette bagged himself a late brace.
Aubameyang, who in 2013 said he’d reject a move to Spurs if they came knocking [Daily Mail], was the closest Arsenal player to the Welshman’s fortunate goal, and the former Borussia Dortmund marksman has ridiculed his Tottenham counterpart by joking that he would be trying to take it away from his Gunners team-mate.
Kane claimed and was subsequently given Tottenham’s second goal in a 2-1 victory at Stoke City earlier this month, after Christian Eriksen was initially credited with scoring it.
The 24-year-old, who is chasing Liverpool’s Mo Salah for the Golden Boot, was ridiculed on social media for the appeal after video evidence indicated that he never touched Eriksen’s cross.
It hasn’t been a good week for Kane, who posted a poor performance in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Manchester United in an FA Cup semi-final, but the Spurs man will have the last laugh over Aubameyang, whose Arsenal side will almost certainly not finish ahead of their North London rivals for a second season in succession.
