The Frenchman left the Sevilla goalkeeper with no chance as he put a tracer bullet into the top corner, crashing off the underside of the crossbar and in.
It was an extraordinary effort from the World Cup winner, generating huge power from his slight frame.
It was an effort worthy of winning any game, and should his team mates protect the lead they will be thanking Dembele for another piece of silverware. The way the game was going it was going to take something special to open it up.
It bodes well for Barcelona, who will hope to get more from Dembele this season after spending big money on him - he had an injury affected first campaign.
