Nabil Fekir caught the opposition goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola, off guard in the first half, and bestowed upon his side an early lead with a heavenly free-kick over 30 yards out. The Frenchman bent the ball with ease, skillfully placing it inside the net.
However, the PSG equalised in the late moments of the first half, as Layvin Kurzawa connected a gleaming cross from the right flanks by Dani Alves with a penetrating volley.
Unai Emery’s men got themselves down to 10 men in the latter half, when Dani Alves earned a red card by squaring up to the referee.
As the match edged towards its final moments, virtually everyone expected a draw. But when the clock hit 94′, Depay dazzled the supporters and the opposition fans equally with his wonder goal.
The Dutchman, who’s expected to have kick-started his classy form, has also conjured up numerous reactions on social media from the fans.
The triumph being extremely valuable for the Ligue 1 side, the club members have thoroughly enjoyed the victory along with the freakish goal.
