Dembele’s scoring touch for PSG silences critics after years of erratic finishing

Associated Press  

GUINGAMP, France — Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé is making scoring look so easy when for so long it proved elusive. He made it 23 so far this campaign with a two goals in PSG’s 3-0 victory at Brest in the first leg of their Champions League playoff on Tuesday. Earlier, it was his shot which led to PSG’s opening goal in the 21st minute, which came after midfielder Pierre Lees-Melou handled Dembélé’s shot and Vitinha scored from the ensuing penalty. The 27-year-old Dembélé showed a poacher’s instinct for his second goal midway through the second half, latching onto a loose ball and bursting into the penalty area before clipping a shot into the left corner. Dembélé has two hat tricks this season, including one against Brest in a 5-2 win when the sides met in the French league recently.
