After their stunning 3-2 victory away to Villarreal, Deportivo have climbed to fourth in the La Liga table, just one point behind the leading trio of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Real Betis, although Barcelona still have a game in hand.And one man deserves much of the credit for their flying start: Aubameyang.No player in Europe's Top 5 leagues has more goal contributions than 37-year-old Aubameyang.Today, he provided two assists and scored the match winner vs. Villarreal.He's now scored four times in four matches 🤯 pic.twitter.com/3JVBh1GoJg— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) September 5, 2026 The Gabon international, signed from Marseille for just €1.5 million, has scored in each of Deportivo’s first four league games. On Saturday night, the 37-year-old added an assist to his remarkable run before producing another moment of vintage Auba to seal all three points.With Deportivo trailing 2-1, Aubameyang produced a superb piece of skill in the 79th minute, threading a perfectly weighted pass through to Zakaria Eddahchouri, who made it 2-2.But the best was yet to come.🚨A nutmeg assist for Aubameyang…class is permanent pic.twitter.com/7GfeGDI5C2— Polymarket Sports (@PolymarketSport) September 5, 2026 Ten minutes later, the Gabonese forward sprinted clear on the counter as if he were at least a decade younger. After receiving a gift from a Villarreal defender, the veteran forward did the rest himself, finishing the move to complete Depor's dramatic comeback and spark wild celebrations among the visitors.It was Deportivo's second win of the season, alongside two draws, and another reminder that Aubameyang still has plenty left in the tank.With four goals and one assist in his first four league appearances, he has become the most productive veteran in La Liga in the 21st century.🔵⚪ | The moment Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores the winning goal for Deportivo A Coruña vs Villarreal! 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/eTRxiXLSvf— The Moment Football (@themomentfooty) September 6, 2026 It certainly did not look like Deportivo would be celebrating when Adama Traore gifted Villarreal the lead in comical fashion in the 76th minute. He first switched off and allowed his opponent to escape, before producing a disastrous header that lobbed his own goalkeeper and made it 2-1.Instead, Deportivo responded with two goals in the final 14 minutes – and Aubameyang was at the heart of both.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 4FridayReal Betis – Real Madrid 1-0 (0-0)/Parrott 81/SaturdayAthletic Bilbao – Atletico Madrid 3-0 (0-0)/Williams 46, Navarro 48, Sancet 90/Rayo Vallecano – Racing Santander 3-2 (2-2)/Ratiu 17, Camello 43,47 – Canales 4, Garcia 28/Villarreal – La Coruna 2-3 (1-1)/Pepe 19, Traore 76 og – Cruz 43, Eddahchouri 79, Aubameyang 88/Sunday17.15: (9.00) Valencia (6.00) Barcelona (1.28) 19.30: (2.30) Alaves (3.15) Osasuna (3.35) 19.30: (2.50) Malaga (3.35) Levante (2.85) 22.00: (2.35) Espanyol (3.20) Sevilla (3.20) Monday20.00: (2.50) Getafe (2.85) Celta (3.30) 22:30: (2.95) Elche (3.40) Sociedad (2.40)***odds are subject to change***
