A return to your old club is always a story. When you score the winner and send your new side into the top three, it becomes a rather good one.
Lassine Sinayoko's goal gave Paris FC a 1-0 win at Auxerre on 7 November. It was his ninth Ligue 1 goal in ten matches, and it left Paris FC third at the international break, three points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Who is Lassine Sinayoko?
Sinayoko is a Mali international forward who previously played for Auxerre. Against his former club, he supplied the only goal in a tight contest. Paris FC's match report confirms the result and his decisive return; Le Parisien records his ninth league goal.
His contribution extends beyond finishing. The TotalOdds Ligue 1 hub lists him with five assists as well as nine goals after ten rounds. Those figures are a snapshot, not a prediction that the same pace will continue.
How have Paris FC started?
Paris FC have six wins, two draws and two defeats, putting them on 20 points after ten matches. PSG lead on 23 and Lille are second on 21. A strong start is worth enjoying, even if the table will look very different by spring.

Paris FC are due to host Angers after the international break. Sinayoko's form will attract attention, but a player scoring regularly does not make a scorer bet certain. Check team news, the opposition and the market terms before drawing conclusions.
