Moussa Dembele ends six month goal drought nightmare as ex-Celtic hitman scores header in shock defeat

Moussa Dembele has put his awful goal drought to bed after netting for Lyon in a drab defeat to Auxerre.

The Frenchman has had a torrid season in front of goal for the Ligue 1 outfit having managed just two goals prior to Friday night's embarrassing 2-1 defeat to relegation fodder Auxerre. The Celtic hitman was reportedly the subject of transfer interest from English Premier League outfit Aston Villa last month but a measly fee of around £3m was floated for the 26-year-old meaning the Hoops wouldn't net much of a windfall on their sell-on clause.

An exit from Lyon never materialised, however, and Friday saw the French star's first goal since the start of September. It had been a whopping 655 minutes since the striker last hit the target with his header being palmed over the line by the Auxerre keeper.
