Augustin embarrassed two Porto defenders in one fell swoop. Captura

Jean-Kevin Augustin may have scored what proved to be the winner for RB Leipzig against Porto on Tuesday, but that wasn't the only thing that got people talking...

The young striker joined the German side from PSG during the summer for a fee in the region of €13m, after being pushed down the pecking order in the French capital following the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

Lionel Messi is known to be a fan of the youngster, who was highly-rated in his homeland.

20-year-old Augustin has enjoyed a fine start to life in the Bundesliga, scoring three goals in six league games so far this season and he showed his potential once again against Porto on Tuesday.

Despite being tripped up, the Frenchman was in no mood to be stopped in his tracks, instead springing back to his feet and leaving not one, but two defenders in his wake with a terrific Maradona turn.

It may not have resulted in a goal, but it delighted the fans all the same.
