Ligue 1 McDonald's: PSG 2 vs 1 St-Etienne Player ratings

6 - Gianluigi Donnarumma

6.5 - Achraf Hakimi

The Morocco international who played his 100th Ligue 1 game with PSG had a good game. His association with Ousmane Dembélé on the right flank is almost deadly, while he remained solid defensively.

6 - Lucas Hernandez

Lucas Hernandez put up a great display against St-Etienne and his pair with Beraldo showed promise. He prevented Davitashvili to open the score with a great comeback as Les Verts started the game brightly. He was substituted by Désiré Doué at the 63rd minute of the game.

6 - Beraldo

6 - Nuno Mendes

7 - Senny Mayulu

Great game for the "Titi". He is showing a lot of talent and could earn more minutes with the first team in the forseable future. He was one of the most dangerous player for Paris offensively and came close to open the score following a good combination with Barcola but was denied by Larsonneur. He was replaced by Vitinha at the 71st minute.

6 - Fabian Ruiz

6 - Kang-In Lee

Solid outing from Lee, the South Korean who started in the midfield was useful in his side build-up and he was at the beginning of many opportunities for his team.

6 - Bradley Barcola

Barcola's impressive form from the start of the season seems now far. Nonetheless, the France international combined well with his teammates, mostly Senny Mayulu and came close twice to increase his goal tally in the league but an incredible save from Larsonneur and VAR got in his way. He was replaced by Warren Zaire-Emery at the 79th minutes.

5 - Gonçalo Ramos

The Portuguese struggled to connect with his teammate today and failed to be dangerous offensively as he earned a rare opportunity to start a game following his return from injury. He was replaced by Pacho at the 63rd minute.

8 - Ousmane Dembélé

The winger is simply on fire at the moment and his perfomance against St-Etienne proved it. His efficency in front of the goal has improved greatly lately. He is without a doubt the man of this match for Paris.
