PSG: Ousmane Dembélé, finally striker after three months
Three months after his arrival at PSG, Ousmane Dembélé scored his first goal wearing the capital club’s colors on Friday, November 24, during the match against Monaco (5-2). Decisive in more ways than one, the forward savored his performance after the game.
It took three months before witnessing Ousmane Dembélé score with PSG, but it was worth the wait: in great form on Friday against AS Monaco (5-2), the French forward netted a superb goal after being decisive in the first two.
The former Barcelona player who arrived in Paris this summer opened his goal account in the most spectacular manner by scoring a sublime goal following an individual exploit, celebrated enthusiastically with all his teammates and the Parc des Princes crowd. After controlling a perfectly weighted pass from Fabian Ruiz with a skillful touch, Dembélé concluded with a powerful right-footed strike (3-1, 70′), and was substituted shortly after (71′).
Before scoring his first goal, Dembélé had already been decisive twice on Friday, although it didn’t reflect in his statistics: he played a role in the first goal by Gonçalo Ramos (1-0, 18′), where Ramos pushed the ball into the net after a goalkeeping error by Philippe Köhn, surprised by the bounce.
Dembélé initiated the action, taking a left-footed shot that was poorly cleared by the Monaco goalkeeper. He also caused the penalty that was converted by his national team teammate and captain, Kylian Mbappé (2-1, 38′).
