Rémi Himbert forces penalties for OL against Lens in Coupe de France | OneFootball

Rémi Himbert came off the bench to haul OL into a penalty shootout against Lens in the Coupe de France. As reported by Le Progres, the teenage forward made a dramatic late impact.

He first provided a decisive pass, then produced a sensational strike in the closing minutes. His brief outing bristled with conviction and skill.

Himbert is no longer an unknown quantity. Invited by Paulo Fonseca to train with the first team last July, he has since added real presence.

Lens’s defenders looked rattled by his direct running. The youngster’s aggression and timing repeatedly forced them back.

He turned 18 on Sunday and marked it with a goal at the Vélodrome. This latest display underlined a rapid rise that is hard to ignore.
