Mute in the Champions League this season, Bradley Barcola scored a double in Angers on Saturday evening and is ahead of his pursuers in the Ligue 1 scorers' ranking. A ranking in which Lee Kang-in moves up significantly thanks to his double facing the SCO.
Holder on the left against Angers when we were expecting Désiré Doué, Bradley Stagger took advantage of his 45 minutes spent on the green rectangle as he scored a Nice double before being replaced at half-time by the former Rennais. Barcola scored the third goal of the match with his right foot after a good serve from Marco Asensio before making it 4-0 with an uncrossed header, from a cross from Lee Kang-in.
This double allows the French international to maintain the lead in the Ligue 1 scorers rankings with now 10 goals in 11 days, two goals more than Mason Greenwoodwho scored Marseille's only goal from the penalty spot during the Phocéens' 3-1 defeat against Auxerre last Friday. Barcola is now three goals ahead of Jonathan Davidwho did not score in Lille's 2-2 draw at Nice on Sunday.
Lee Kang-in already exceeds his goal total from last season
Holder against the Dogues, Evann Guessand didn't score either during Nice/Lille and remains stuck at 6 goals. 6 goals is also the new total of Lee Kang-in in Ligue 1 since his double at Angers. South Korean international overtakes Ousmane Dembele's (5 goals) in the ranking and therefore joins Guessand, but also the Japanese winger Keito Nakamurascorer in Reims' 3-0 victory at Le Havre.
Also note that thanks to his double, Lee Kang-in is already better than his total of goals scored with PSG last season, which was 5. The South Korean had scored 3 goals in the league, 1 in the Champions League and 1 in the Champions Trophy, all in 36 matches played. After 15 matches played this season, he has already scored 6 goals.
