Barcelona opened a four point lead at the top of their domestic league table by beating Espanol 4-0, during their local derby at the RCD stadium yesterday. Ousmane Dembele who has had a slow start to his Barcelona career starred for the Spanish champions during the encounter.
The skillful midfielder who joined the defending champions from German BundesLiga side, Borrusia Dortmund, scored a goal and also provided a wonderful assist for Luis Suarez just before the half time break.
The Frenchman also caused the host series of problems with his mazy runs and pace.
His display during the clash has got fans reacting on social media as they have a thing or two to say.
What the are saying:
also, dembele hate won’t be tolerated anymore. @ management

Having Messi and Dembélé in the same team is even more unfair, as is Dembélé's two-footedness. No one should be more two-footed than I am. Messi also had a nice headed pass in the lead up to that goal, just for Pelé. Wonderful.
