Against the Alsatians, he became the youngest player, at 17 years and 243 days, to score a goal and deliver an assist in a Ligue 1 match since Opta analyzed the competition.
Doué impresses with his precocity and his ease under the colors of Rennes. Author of three goals already this season, he will be dominating for the Bretons during the return phase, while Bruno Génésio’s team must do without Kalimuendo and Terrier. Désiré Doué never ceases to amaze, another one to whom you don’t talk about age.
