PSG fights back to beat Strasbourg 3-1 after Dembélé penalty miss
After failing to win any of their first three domestic league matches this season, Paris Saint-Germain is up to 14 points from seven games and is therefore top of the standings on goals scored from Monaco, before the team visits Lorient on Sunday.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) staged a remarkable comeback to beat Strasbourg 3-1 in a Ligue 1 match, securing their position at the top of the French league table. Dembele missed a penalty in the 72nd minute but later scored, setting up Illia Zabarnyi for an equaliser and contributing to Desire Doue's goal in stoppage time. PSG now boast a four-match winning streak in Ligue 1, along with six victories overall, including the Champions League.
This win came just three days after their 4-2 Champions League win over Manchester City and three days before their match against Barcelona. Strasbourg took the lead in the 17th minute through Giovanni Reyna, who received a pass from Gessime Yassine and beat Matvey Safonov at the near post. PSG responded swiftly with a goal of their own, and further strengthened their lead with a penalty miss from Dembele, who put his spot-kick wide.
However, Dembele equalised in the 78th minute, crossed for Zabarnyi to score, and then assisted Doue in the final moments to seal the victory.
