Desire Doue scored a stunning strike as a dominant PSG levelled things up after Aston Villa had taken a surprise lead in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash.
The talented 19-year-old fired a curling long-range effort into the net via the underside of the crossbar, five minutes after Morgan Rogers had given the visitors a shock lead on 35-minuites at the Parc des Princes.
Rogers’ goal came entirely against the run of play, with Emi Martinez in the Villa goal being called into action on more than one occasion in the first half.
PSG level the game up!
That finish from Désiré Doué is out of this world 💫

Doue’s goal capped off a thrilling first 45 in Paris as both sides look to take an advantage into the second leg at Villa Park next week.
The teenager, whose surname means ‘gifted’ in French, becomes the second-youngest player to reach 20 goal involvements for PSG this century behind Kylian Mbappe.
His impressive goal will only enhance his growing reputation, while his club look increasingly like serious contenders in Europe’s elite club competition.
While underdogs, Villa remain alive in the contest.
