Chelsea fans spot Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'liking' the Instagram post announcing Graham Potter's sacking, as £10m outcast appears to join loanee Denis Zakaria in revelling in their manager's exit

Chelsea outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signalled his approval at Graham Potter's departure by 'liking' a post on Instagram confirming his sacking.

The striker, who hasn't made an appearance for Chelsea since late February and was ditched from their Champions League knockout rounds squad, seemed to enjoy the news on Sunday night.

Potter was fired with Chelsea sitting a lowly 11th in the Premier League table, with Saturday's 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa proving the final straw for owner Todd Boehly and the club's hierarchy.

Having repeatedly backed Potter following a run of poor results since the turn of the year, the further regression of their hopes of qualifying for Europe proved too much.
