Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his fifth goal in five La Liga matches on Sunday away at Getafe, allowing Deportivo La Corogne to secure a draw (1-1) and remain unbeaten at the start of the season.

Signed for just €1.5 million from Marseille this summer, the 37-year-old Gabonese striker is proving to be one of the bargains of the Spanish transfer market. Last season, he still compiled 14 goals and 9 assists in 41 matches in Marseille colours, confirming a rare longevity at the highest level.

Back in La Liga six years after his spell at FC Barcelona — where he scored 13 goals in 24 matches in the first half of 2022 — the former Saint-Étienne player is rediscovering the Spanish championship with impressive consistency. A goalscorer in each of the first five matches, he is carrying the attack of a Galician club that had not competed in the top flight for several years.

Thanks to this unbeaten start, Deportivo La Corogne has nine points and sits fifth in the La Liga standings, a result that exceeds the most optimistic expectations for a promoted team. The collective performance owes much to the sparkling form of their flagship signing: if Aubameyang maintains this rhythm of a goal per match, Deportivo La Corogne could quickly be in contention for a strong finish.
