            Balogun Dreams More Goals As Reims Face Auxerre - World Forum Blog 24  

Folarin Balogun is the current Ligue 1 top goalscorer with 14 goals in 20 games and will be hoping to add to his basket of goals  when Reims visit Auxerre on Sunday. 

With Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe looking on, Folarin Balogun broke through on goal at the Parc des Princes.

The on-loan Arsenal striker went past European Championship-winning goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, slotted home and ran towards the corner.

Putting one confident arm on the flag, Balogun emulated one of Thierry Henry’s old celebrations after shaking hands with the Arsenal legend just a few hours before. “Only right I show my respect,” tweeted the 21-year-old that evening. But Henry should rightly be giving respect in the opposite direction.

Balogun’s goal last Sunday allowed Stade de Reims to snatch a point at champions Paris Saint-Germain to extend their unbeaten record to 12 games under half-English rookie manager Will Still.

And there was no unlucky 13 for Reims, nor Balogun, on Wednesday night as the England U21 striker netted a hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Lorient to add to his memorable week.
