Ousmane Dembele bags brace to set PSG on way as Serhou Guirassy stars for Borussia Dortmund in Champions League
Elsewhere, there was late drama as Juventus beat PSV thanks to a goal from Samuel Mbangula
Ousmane Dembele bagged a brace as Paris Saint-Germain won the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie 3-0 against Brest.
An all-French clash saw PSG go in front through Vitinha’s penalty and the hosts had two good chances through Abdallah Sima in the first half, including a header which smashed off the woodwork.
However, Dembele proved to be the difference after scoring twice – either side of half-time – to wrap up victory and take his Champions League goal tally to six in his last three outings.
Serhou Guirassy starred for Borussia Dortmund as they earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Sporting Lisbon.
His looping header sent Dortmund ahead before he turned provider, hitting a great cross into Pascal Gross, who smashed a first-time effort home with his thigh.
Karim Adeyemi completed the win after helping Dortmund to break forward before stabbing home.
Samuel Mbangula’s late goal earned a 2-1 win for Juventus over PSV Eindhoven.
Juventus went ahead through a ferocious Weston McKennie strike after the United States international smashed a first-time effort into the roof of the net.
Ivan Perisic drew level after brilliantly controlling a deflection before tucking the ball into the bottom corner, but Mbangula found the winner for Juve after firing into the top corner.
