Aubameyang netted in Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 home defeat to Werder Bremen on Saturday, December 9.

The 28-year-old levelled the scores by bundling home from close range but the shock loss for Peter Bosz's men leaves them without a win in eight league games and 13 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.

He equalled the record in Dortmund's Ruhr derby 4 - 4 draw with Schalke with his Bremen goal taking him to 97 Bundesliga strikes.

Aubameyang's new record was previously held by Yeboah, who played for Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburg either side of a spell in the Premier League with Leeds United.
