PSG beat Lens thanks to an early Ousmane Dembele's goal (1-0)

Will Still's Lens might be one of the most solid defenses in Europe's Top 5 leagues, but not even they couldn't keep a clean sheet nor clinch at least a draw against Paris Saint-Germain.

Vitinha and Marco Asensio operated in midfield, while Barcola and Dembele made a mess on the flanks, as Luis Enrique opted for his old-fashioned attacking style. It paid off quickly, as Barcola assisted Dembele for the early opener, which would eventually prove to be the winning goal, too.

Dembele himself came closest to doubling the lead with a curled shot from outside the box, which clipped the post, while Asensio twice found himself thwarted by an onrushing Brice Samba.

After this important win, PSG will shift their focus to the Champions League, as they're about to face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
