It may well have been lost amidst the drama and bedlam of Lyon’s remarkable late triumph over Manchester City on Saturday, but the truest finish on the night came from the boot of a nominal defender.
Moussa Dembele stole the headlines, coming off the bench to score twice and render Kevin De Bruyne’s well-taken equalizer irrelevant. However, it was Ivory Coast international Maxwel Cornet’s brilliantly executed opener that set the cat among the pigeons, that first signposted the impending doom for Pep Guardiola.
In fairness, to refer to him as a defender is slightly disingenuous.
