Well, our boy played fantastic today:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started and finished the scoring for Les Verts, with Romain Hamouma and Josuha Guilavogui also on target as St Etienne got their first points on the board in style after starting the season with two defeats.
Just 12 minutes in, Aubameyang connected with a perfect cross from Hamouma and struck his low volley past Brest goalkeeper Alexis Thebaux.
The Gabon forward almost doubled his side's lead just before the half-hour mark but lashed his shot against the post following a swift counter-attack led by Hamouma.
And barely a minute later Aubameyang applied the icing to the cake by firing home after being put through by Clement.
Aubameyang should have claimed his hat-trick 21 minutes from time when another sublime pass from Clement sent him through on Thebaux once more, but this time the keeper won the duel.
Goal! St Etienne 1, Brest 0. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (St Etienne) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the centre of the goal. Assisted by Romain Hamouma.
