Scores late goal in Classique Lee scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 5-0 victory versus Marseille.

Impact Lee came off the bench and put the game to bed in the 74th minute, calmly slotting a low finish into the bottom right corner to make it 5-0. With Paris Saint-Germain in full control, he played loose and confident, recycling possession and attacking the right half-space whenever lanes opened up. The goal was the final exclamation point on a ruthless second half and marked his second in 16 Ligue 1 appearances this season for the South Korean.

Impact For the first time this season, Lee started outside of his usual central midfield role and was pushed out wide to cover Paris Saint-Germain's right wing of a 4-3-3 formation.
