Dembélé Hat Trick! France Star Has Three Goals vs. Norway At World Cup

Not one, not twice, but thrice. France winger Ousmane Dembélé scored three goals in the first half of its World Cup match against Norway on Friday, putting the Paris Saint-Germain star firmly in the mix for the Golden Boot race for the tournament's top-goal scorer. All of Dembélé's goals came in the first 32 minutes of the match at Boston Stadium. He became the first player to score a first-half hat trick at a men's FIFA World Cup since Russia's Oleg Selenko in 1994, who finished with five goals in one match. D completed the feat with three completely different goals. The third goal was a combination of his first two — a curler with his left foot from the same spot he powered his first goal in with his right foot. Dembélé entered Friday's match with one goal. With four goals, he sits behind Lionel Messi (five goals) in the Golden Boot race. He joins Lionel Messi and Canada's Jonathan David as the third player with a hat trick at this tournament.
