Ferran Torres header breaks deadlock as PSG win 2-1 at Marseille | OneFootball

Ferran Torres came on around the hour and broke the deadlock for PSG in a 2-1 Classique win at Marseille. The Spaniard now has seven goals in all competitions since joining.

He had already hit a hat-trick against Slovan Bratislava in a 6-1 win and scored the only goal at Brest in a 1-0 victory. L'Équipe notes his swift impact has quickly become a pattern. He repeated it on Sunday, scoring with one of his first touches.

The opener arrived from a Désiré Doué cross into the box. Torres timed his run to slip between Nayef Aguerd and CJ Egan-Riley, then guided a header beyond the goalkeeper.

He anticipated the delivery and cut across its path, just as he had against Rennes from a pass by Ruiz and against Bratislava from Dembélé’s service.

It was a fluent, almost routine sequence, a striker reading the play and attacking the space through the middle.
