Dembélé scores twice as leader PSG remains unbeaten in French league halfway through season

Associated Press  

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain remained unbeaten and seven points clear at the top of the French league — halfway through the season — after Ousmane Dembélé scored twice in a 2-1 win over Saint-Etienne on Sunday. Dembélé scored in the 13th minute and the France winger netted from the penalty spot 10 minutes later after a video review spotted a handball from Léo Pétrot on Achraf Hakimi’s cross. Dembélé moved to 10 league goals, level with teammate Bradley Barcola and one behind co-top scorers Jonathan David and Mason Greenwood Barcola thought he had his 11th goal of the season close to halftime but, on a day of video reviews, the goal was ruled out for a foul by the player himself. Central defender Abdukodir Khusanov was left out of the Lens squad amid reports of an imminent big-money transfer to Premier League defending champion Manchester City reportedly worth 50 million euros.
