So while his name was not mentioned among those unfortunate or surprised to miss out for this extended international break, the midfielder still showed what he can do. The Marseille midfielder, 26, came off the bench for his Ligue 1 side during today’s clash with PSG at the Stade Velodrome. And he made a big impact with the equaliser – and did it in style, too. Gomes collected the ball on the counter attack on the edge of the PSG penalty area. He then chopped inside, bamboozling Willian Pacho, before poking the ball beyond Matvey Safonov into the back of the net. That goal came in a crazy 11-minute second-half spell.
