Auxerre’s Donovan Léon joins elite club following PSG masterclass | OneFootball

Donovan Léon (32) put in a decisive performance against Paris Saint-Germain. The AJ Auxerre goalkeeper made 11 stops on the night, including two big ones late in stoppage time, to deny PSG from taking all three points away from the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps and allowing L’AJA to continue their excellent home form. They have lost just once at home all season (against AS Monaco), and they are now five unbeaten at their home ground.

Léon played a big part in that and his importance was recognised by L’Équipe, who awarded the shot-stopper a very rare ’10’ rating. He has now joined an elite club.

He becomes just the 17th player to be awarded a perfect ’10’ from the renowned French publication. It is a feat previously achieved by Ademola Lookman, Erling Haaland (twice), Dominik Livakovic, Alban Lafont, Kylian Mbappé, Serge Gnabry, Lucas Moura, Dusan Tadic, Neymar Jr., Carlos Eduardo, Robert Lewandowski, Lionel Messi (twice), Lars Windfeld, Oleg Salenko, Bruno Martini, and Franck Sauzée.
