Dembele scores after lovely pass by Messi

Ousmane Dembele was once again in the headlines for Barcelona. They were without a true number 9, but the Frenchman took advantage of the space to put Barca 0-1 up at the Sanchez-Pizjuan. 

While all eyes were on Leo Messi with the ball, in midfield. Dembele got past Diego Carlos and began to run. 

Once the Frenchman began running, neither Kounde or Diego Carlos arrived in time to prevent the Barcelona winger getting into the box with the goal in sight. 

Dembele hit a low shot across goalkeeper Bono and that Barcelona one goal up. Bono came out to narrow the angle, but was unable to prevent the goal.

Bono had gone 545 minutes without conceding a goal in La Liga before Dembele put that to an end. The previous goal had come against Alaves on 19th January.
