There’s always something joyful about a winger who can tie a defender in knots, and this was a great goal from Mohamed Elyounoussi.
He elegantly drifts inside the Lyon defender and fools him so much that he ends up falling over, before a lovely reversed finish leaves the keeper with no chance:

The game ended 2-1 so it probably came too late, but there’s a lot to be positive from the Norwegian’s point of view here.
He struggled to find form after injury last season and these games are all about getting fit and sharp, and this suggests he could be back to his best when the league starts again.
