Moussa Dembele continues to impress
A lot of eyebrows were raised when the former Fulham man chose Celtic ahead of a number of European heavyweights at the start of the season. What good could come of a move to the Scottish football, a league that once produced fine players but have fallen behind in the recent past?
What the move has offered Dembele is extended playing time in the top flight and Europe, which is a requisite for a 20-year-old who is still developing. The Frenhman had repaid his manager’s faith with 10 goals in all competitions prior to the game, and added to the tally with a brace against City.
While the first goal was a result of teamwork, Dembele had a lot to do in the second one. With his back to the goal, he showed the footballing world why he is regarded as one of the best young talents in the world with a sublime finish.
In Brendan Rodgers, Dembele has a manager who has a reputation of developing young players and under his guidance, he could become one of the finest players in Europe.
