#1 David Luiz - PSG vs Lens
Ex-Chelsea defender David Luiz hasn’t lost his free kick taking ability after making the move to Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian helped PSG to a 4-1 win by opening the scoring in the 43rd minute.
PSG won a free kick when Lens’ Lalaïna Nomenjanahary was shown a yellow card for a foul on Thiago Motta. Luiz line up the ball and took a shot on goal, placing the shot to the right of the wall.
Lens goalkeeper Rudy Riou didn’t help his team by initially moving the wrong way before realizing too late and letting Luiz score from very far out.
The win puts PSG on top of the table with Lyon having a game in hand.
