Ibrahim Mbaye

Analysis: Mbaye came from the bench with 15 minutes to go and showed incredible skill to glide past the French defence and score the goal in injury time, which brought the score back to 2-1. Kylian Mbappe would go to score a goal straight away to help the game finish 3-1. The goal came from his only shot of the game, and he also put in two dangerous crosses, which put pressure on Mike Maignan in goal. One cross was nearly turned into a goal by a French defender.

Scores late goal

Mbaye scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-0 victory against Lens.

Analysis: Mbaye sealed Wednesday's 2-0 win at Lens in style by coming off the bench in the second half to finish a rapid counterattack in stoppage time. He received Desire Doue's pass on the left side of the area, after Lens had pushed bodies forward in search of an equalizer, and smashed the ball in off the crossbar for his third Ligue 1 goal of the season. Mbaye offers explosive pace and directness from wide areas and has been increasingly trusted in decisive moments off the bench throughout the campaign. He has now scored in each of his last two appearances, bringing his tally to three goals and two assists across 23 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
