Ibrahim Mbaye

Analysis: Mbaye sealed Wednesday's 2-0 win at Lens in style by coming off the bench in the second half to finish a rapid counterattack in stoppage time. He received Desire Doue's pass on the left side of the area, after Lens had pushed bodies forward in search of an equalizer, and smashed the ball in off the crossbar for his third Ligue 1 goal of the season. Mbaye offers explosive pace and directness from wide areas and has been increasingly trusted in decisive moments off the bench throughout the campaign. He has now scored in each of his last two appearances, bringing his tally to three goals and two assists across 23 Ligue 1 appearances this season.

Scores opener

Mbaye scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Lorient.

Analysis: Mbaye opened the scoring in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Lorient, reacting quickest in the first half when Yvon Mvogo pushed Desire Doue's cross directly into his path, side-footing the rebound into the empty net to give his side an early lead before Lorient responded almost immediately. The young Senegalese winger remained a lively presence on the right flank throughout his time on the pitch, drawing fouls and combining in transition. Mbaye has now scored two Ligue 1 goals this season across 22 appearances, continuing to make a case for more regular minutes in a competitive rotation.
