On Monday, they will both head to Clairefontaine to join the French team. This Sunday, Rayan Cherki and Bradley Barcola were on the Premier League pitches during the 3 p.m. matches. Where one of the two shone more.
Already a scorer during the week against Norwich in the League Cup, Rayan Cherki scored his fourth goal of the season in all competitions. The former Lyonnais was opportunistic in the area, finding the Sunderland goalkeeper with a shot from the penalty spot (29th).
Cherki took part in the nice show between Man City and Sunderland (5-3). Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring (9th), before Antoine Semenyo’s double (43rd, 57th), to respond… to the hat-trick from Black Cats striker Brian Brobbey (12th, 33rd, 59th). At the end of the match, Erling Haaland ended up finding the fault (81st) to ensure the success of his team.
Barcola still silent, Jacquet still solid
At the same time, Bradley Barcola started with Liverpool on the Bournemouth pitch. Still looking for his first goal or his first assist with the Reds, the former Parisian once again remained silent for his fifth match under his new colors. In this match, he simply stood out with a shot easily repelled by Petrovic (33rd).
The winning goal for Liverpool (0-1) was scored by Alexander Isak, after good work from Cody Gakpo on the right wing. The Dutchman got the better of Adrien Truffert, for once caught at fault in this meeting. As for the third player called by Zidane present on the field, Jérémy Jacquet returned a copy without a false note, one more since the start of the season.
