🚀 5 goal involvements in two matches: this Bundesliga youngster is on fire | OneFootball

Benjamin Šeško, Loïs Openda, and Xavi Simons? They probably aren’t all that sorely missed in Leipzig anymore. And that’s mainly because of one person: Yan Diomande.

He is just 18 years old – and is already making a real breakthrough. In recent weeks, Diomande has repeatedly shown that he has the potential for the big stage in football. Slowly but surely, he seems to have arrived in the Bundesliga.

In the last two league matches, the striker, who transferred from Spain’s second division to Germany this summer for 20 million euros, collected a total of five scorer points. Last week, during Leipzig’s goal fest in Augsburg, he not only scored the opening goal to make it 1-0, but also assisted the 3-0 and 4-0 from RB’s perspective.

He picked up right where he left off today: Leipzig is currently leading 2-1 at home against VfB Stuttgart. The first goal – an own goal by Chabot – was set up by Diomande after an impressive dribble down the left against Mittelstädt. Eight minutes after halftime, he once again got past two Stuttgart players and slotted the ball into the bottom right corner from about 13 meters out.

Shortly before the final whistle, Leipzig scored to make it 3-1 – this time without Diomande’s involvement, but still: we can only marvel at his explosive rise at RB.
