AUBAMEYANG EQUALED ETO'O !
Aubameyang equaled couple of Eto’o hat-trick records
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's hat-trick for Marseille in the Europa League against Ajax (4-3) on November 30 made him the 2nd player in the XXI century to score hat-tricks in top-level games with 5 different European clubs.
Aubameyang repeated the achievement previously set by Samuel Eto'o.
Worldwide, there are now 7 such players in this century. The record belongs to Brazilian forward Washington who scored hat-tricks in different top-level competitions for as many as 7 different clubs. And that's not counting Paraná, where he has a hat-trick dating back to the XX century.
It is worth noting that Aubameyang shares also the record for the clubs with which he scored hat-tricks in European tournaments. He now has 3 such clubs (Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Marseille). Samuel Eto’o and Robert Lewandowski have the same number.
