Jeremy Doku sets record in French Ligue 1 as he beats Neymar to best dribbling success in single match

Stade Rennais FC youngster Jeremy Doku put up his best performance in the French Ligue 1 since his arrival on Sunday against Girondins Bordeaux.

Even though Rennais lost 1-0 at the end of the game, Doku made a record for himself with his incredible performance at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux.

Statistics relayed by the Professional Football League show the Belgium-born Ghanaian winger managed 12 dribbles out of 15 attempts in the game.

This is the best dribbles success in a single match in the French top-flight this season.

The best numbers so far belonged to Brazilian superstar Neymar who had 11 dribbles out of 13 against Olympique Lyon in December 2020.
