Ousmane Dembele

French forward of Mali descent, Ousmane Dembele was the star man for Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, inspiring the team to hammer Stade Brestois 3-0 in the Uefa Champions League.

The highly rated forward started as the marksman for his side today in the first leg of their knockout clash against the fellow French Ligue 1 side.

PSG, playing as the away side took the lead after 21 minutes when Vitinha scored from the spot after Brest had given away a penalty.

Late in the first half, Ousmane Dembele doubled the lead for the visitors, firing a precise shot into the back of the net after he was set up by Moroccan star defender Achraf Hakimi.

With a comfortable lead at halftime, PSG had the patience in the second half and soaked the pressure from Brest in the second half.

Thanks to a second goal from Ousmane Dembele in the 66th minute, PSG sailed to a dominant 3-0 win to take a good advantage into the reverse fixture.
