The Senegalese weekend was particularly prolific. From Europe's top leagues to the Saudi Pro League, several Lions made an impression, with one man clearly standing out: Pape Moussa Fall.
Pape Moussa Fall, the man of the weekend
In Metz, the 2.03 m striker delivered a masterful performance against Rodez. A hat-trick in the 8th, 42nd and 58th minutes for a 4-1 win. After three consecutive draws, Metz returned to winning ways thanks to their centre-forward, now on 5 goals in 5 Ligue 2 matchdays.
Diao continues his festival
With Como, Assane Diao struck twice again in the 4-1 win at Genoa. First to give his side the lead, then in the 78th minute to seal the victory for good. The Senegalese international is confirming a particularly promising start to the season.
Badji strikes twice
In Turkey, Amidou Badji scored a brace during Bandırmaspor's spectacular 6-0 win over Boluspor. Scoring in the 16th and 33rd minutes, he took part in his team's offensive festival, who were already leading 5-0 at half-time.
Ndiaye and Mendy solid
At Manchester City, Iliman Ndiaye made his first start in the 1-0 win over Coventry. An encouraging first step in his new environment. At Hull, Nobel Mendy once again kept a clean sheet against Aston Villa and is already showing fine consistency as he discovers the Premier League.
Dieng, Diba and Diop decisive
Bamba Dieng scored on his very first appearance for Red Star in the derby against Partizan. Samba Lélé Diba, for his part, scored again for Grenoble, his second goal in a week. In Strasbourg, Pape Demba Diop took part in the emphatic 6-2 win at Troyes.
The senior players deliver
In Saudi Arabia, Kalidou Koulibaly contributed to Al-Hilal's 2-0 win at Al-Shabab, while Édouard Mendy kept a clean sheet in Al-Ahli's 5-0 victory over Al-Riyadh.
The weekend belongs to Fall, but both the rising stars and the senior players also delivered.
