Ousmane Dembele inspired Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to a 3-1 comeback victory over Strasbourg on Saturday, extending the club’s winning run in all competitions to six matches and moving them to the top of Ligue 1.
PSG fell behind after Giovanni Reyna’s deflected effort found the net, giving Strasbourg an early advantage against a heavily rotated visiting side.
Manager Luis Enrique had made eight changes to the team that defeated Manchester City 4-2 in the Champions League, but introduced five key players in the second half as he sought to turn the game around.
The changes helped PSG regain control, with Dembele crossing for Illia Zabarnyi to equalise before the Ballon d’Or holder missed a penalty.
Dembele recovered from that setback to put PSG ahead with five minutes remaining, driving a low shot into the net from 16 yards.
Desire Doue then sealed the victory in stoppage time, finishing from Ferran Torres’ pass to complete the comeback.
The result marks a significant turnaround for PSG, who were 13th in Ligue 1 after their opening three matches. Saturday’s win lifted them to the top of the table ahead of their rivals’ weekend fixtures.
Dembele’s decisive contribution underlined his importance to Enrique’s side, who have continued their strong form across domestic and European competitions.
