Dembélé roars back to form with 2 first-half goals and an assist against Slovan in Champions League
Paris Saint-Germain's Ballon d'Or winner, Ousmane Dembélé, returned to form scoring two first-half goals and providing an assist against Slovan Bratislava in a Champions League match on Wednesday. Dembélé, who had been struggling following a disappointing start to Paris Saint-Germain's domestic season, netted early in the game. His first goal came after deflecting Nuno Mendes' post-hit shot into the back of the net, while his second goal came from a header in the 23rd minute.
Dembélé also set up a third goal for new signing Ferran Torres, who scored his third goal of the season. The French forward was substituted at halftime during PSG's Ligue 1 opener against Rennes, and was later left out of the subsequent game against Lille. Dembélé's impressive return to form helped PSG to a 3-0 halftime lead against Slovan.
