And the first was gift-wrapped as keeper Alexander Nubel smashed the ball off Sarr’s body from close range.
The 23-year-old – who is on a temporary deal from Stamford Bridge – has torn whether to try and control it or get out of the way.
He stuck out a leg and it agonisingly deflected into the empty goal.
Sarr’s hands were already on his knees by the time the ball hit the back of the net.

Blues fans were scathing on social media as they responded to the gaff.
One user wrote: “He will never step foot back at Stamford Bridge , don’t worry lads”.
Another added: “I don’t ever want to see him back at Chelsea“.
Although, one admitted there was very little that the loanee could do about the goal.

He wrote: “Oh that’s bad. Absolutely nothing Sarr can do about it though”.
Sarr is on a season-long transfer with a view to a £10million permanent deal at the end of the season.
The Frenchman turned down a move to the Blues’ neighbours Fulham in order to return to Ligue 1.
