Watch Ousmane Dembele’s outrageous piece of skill send TWO defenders for a hot dog in Barcelona’s win over Celta Vigo
OUSMANE DEMBELE left two defenders trailing in his wake after executing a brilliant piece of skill last night.
The Frenchman was in action as Barcelona took on Celta Vigo in LaLiga.
With 42 minutes on the clock, Barca already led 2-0 courtesy of goals by Memphis Depay and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Just moments after the ex-Arsenal captain's strike, Dembele gave fans another moment to remember.
With just a sly touch and drop of the shoulder, the winger sent TWO defenders for a hot dog as they went tumbling to the turf.
Dembele, 24, nonchalantly stepped beyond them before running into space.

"Even though he's not having much luck in front of goal, he generates a lot of danger. He is a difference-maker. I am very satisfied with him.
"The club know my idea in terms of next season. But there's an agent, a club, a player… it won't be easy, but I hope he renews."
Dembele has only scored one goal in LaLiga this season, but has made up for it with plenty of assists.
