There are few things more embarrassing in football than being substituted on and off in the same match.
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang found out exactly what that experience is like in Chelsea's 1-0 defeat against Manchester City on Thursday night. The Gabon international was called on to replace Raheem Sterling on five minutes after the latter picked up a hamstring injury, before being taken off just over an hour later.
The 33-year-old has made just four Premier League starts under Graham Potter and has become a fixture on the bench in recent weeks with Kai Havertz preferred up front. Aubameyang was brought in to work alongside Thomas Tuchel, but the German was sacked a matter of days following the forward's move to Stamford Bridge.
