Ousmane Dembele Put in Impressive Category With Barcelona, Bournemouth Stars: What’s Behind It? | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain extended their unbeaten streak in domestic play with a 3-1 win over Olympique de Marseille in the latest Le Classique last weekend.

The match started quietly, but Ousmane Dembele broke the deadlock in the 17th minute. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia headed the ball to Fabian Ruiz, who quickly played a pass through to Dembele.

Though he momentarily lost control, Dembele spun away from an onrushing Gerónimo Rulli and finished calmly from the edge of the box. This goal follows his recent strike against Liverpool at Anfield and successful penalty in the shootout.
