Dembélé masterclass fires PSG past Lille to reclaim top spot

Paris Saint-Germain delivered a statement performance at the Parc des Princes, sweeping aside Lille 3–0 to move back to the summit of the table in emphatic fashion. The night belonged to Ousmane Dembélé, whose clinical brace underlined his status as the reigning Ballon d'Or winner and set the tone for a dominant Parisian display.
Dembélé broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, drifting into space before finishing with trademark composure. After the break, the French winger produced a moment of pure inspiration, delicately lifting the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper to complete a stunning double that brought the home crowd to its feet.
The victory was sealed late on by Bradley Barcola, who capped off a flowing team move to put the result beyond doubt.
