Dembele nets brace as PSG beat Toulouse | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain took all three points after a 3-1 victory over Toulouse at the Parc des Princes, in a match where the hosts controlled possession and created far more chances throughout the evening.

PSG struck first through Ousmane Dembélé, whose left-footed finish from the right side of the box found the top right corner. Toulouse responded quickly, though, when Rasmus Nicolaisen headed in from a corner to bring the scores level at 1-1.

The home side regained the lead before the break, with Dembélé scoring again from close range after an assist from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia following a corner. The Frenchman?s brace proved decisive in a game PSG largely dictated.

With 72 per cent possession, 17 shots and seven on target, PSG?s superiority was clear, while Toulouse were limited to just five attempts and 28 per cent of the ball. The expected goals tally also reflected the difference, with the hosts finishing on 1.55 compared with Toulouse?s 0.15.
