PSG suffer their first French Ligue 1 defeat of season
Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday were defeated 2-1 by Olympique Lyonnais in the French Ligue 1 encounter.
The result against Lyon means it was PSG’s first Ligue 1 defeat of the season ahead of their UEFA Champions League last 16 fixture against Manchester United later this month.
Thomas Tuchel’s men were without their star player, Neymar, who was injured.
NAN reports that Nabil Fekir’s second-half penalty kick earned Lyon all three points after Moussa Dembele had cancelled out Angel Di Maria’s early opener for PSG.
PSG lead the table with 56 points from 21 games, 10 points ahead of second-placed Lille who have played two more games, while Lyon sits in third, three points further adrift.
The capital side lacked steel in midfield in the absence of injured Marco Verratti and missed the spark of Neymar.
