Senegalese players had a prolific weekend in the various European championships. The MVP is undoubtedly Ismaîla Sarr, shining with Crystal Palace. In Ligue 1, Habib Diarra guided Strasbourg.
Ismaïla Sarr is on fire. This Sunday, December 15, the Senegalese winger carried Crystal Palace, victorious at Brighton 3-1. Sarr scored 2 goals and delivered 1 assist. A high-level performance which allows the Eagles (15th, 16 points) to move away from the red zone. For Iso, it’s a breath of fresh air. Mute until November 23, he scored 1 goal and delivered 1 assist against Aston Villa. This now gives him 3 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League this season. Still in England, Chelsea beat Brentford 2-1 with Nicolas Jackson’s 2-0 goal in the 80th minute. This is already his 9th achievement this season in the championship. Thanks to the Senegalese, Chelsea (2nd, 34 points) are 2 lengths behind Liverpool, leader, who has a game in hand.
In Ligue 1, Strasbourg won 3-0 on the Le Havre pitch. As a good captain, Habib Diarra guided his men by opening the score in the 28th minute. It was his third goal of the season in Ligue 1. For its part, Brest beat Nantes 4-1 thanks in particular to a double from Abdallah Sima, now the author of six goals in all competitions. Brest returns to 6th place.
Pathé Ciss solid, Ousseynou Ba’s blood stroke
On Saturday, Iliman Ndiaye’s Everton earned a valuable draw on Arsenal’s pitch (0-0). The Toffees number helped his teammates with defensive tasks and was also responsible for some dangerous actions. Later in the evening, Pathé Ciss and Rayo Vallecano held reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid to a 3-3 draw. Ciss did some undermining work in midfield, particularly in the first half, to cut off a large number of Madrid actions.
The downside of this Lions weekend comes from Türkiye where Ousseynou Ba was logically excluded for headbutting his opponent Edin Dzeko. The latter also found himself with the arch open. Ba will undoubtedly be severely suspended for this gesture.
