Dazzling Dembele leads PSG in Le Classique romp
Ousmane Dembele starred with two goals and an assist as Paris Saint-Germain reclaimed their spot at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
Ousmane Dembele netted a superb brace as Paris Saint-Germain reclaimed top spot in Ligue 1 with a 5-0 victory over Marseille in Sunday's Le Classique at Parc des Princes.
After Lens's 3-1 win over Rennes, the pressure was back on PSG to keep pace at the top of the table, and it responded in style, helped by a first-half double from Dembele.
The 2025 Ballon d'Or winner broke the deadlock after just 12 minutes, calmly slotting down the middle off Nuno Mendes's centre following an incisive throughball from Desire Doue.
Dembele then doubled PSG's advantage before the break in spectacular fashion, cutting through Marseille's defence with ease as he burst past Leonardo Balerdi and Facundo Medina, before rifling into the roof of the net at the near post.
After both Doue and Bradley Barcola were denied by the woodwork, a fortunate deflection helped PSG to their third in the 64th minute, as Medina unwittingly turned into his own net while attempting to clear Joao Neves' volley.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a fourth less than two minutes later as PSG began to run riot, lasering a sublime low volley into the bottom left corner off Dembele's looping cross.
Lee Kang-In added further gloss late on with a clever near-post finish past Jeffrey de Lange, sealing a resounding win as Luis Enrique's side restored their two-point cushion at the top of the table.
