Ligue 1: Lyon 1-1 Paris Saint-Germain
Ligue 1 leaders PSG were held in Lyon on Sunday night as they needed a late goal from an unlikely source to rescue a point. Lyon took an early lead when Lucas Paquetá finished off an excellent quick team move that started from a short goal kick as they cut through PSG with ease.
They held it until the final 15 minutes when PSG eventually equalised as a ball across the box was pounced upon by Thilo Kehrer and his deflected strike looped into the corner. Kylian Mbappé almost won it with a free-kick, only to see his effort come back off the post. PSG move 11 points clear at the top with the draw, while Lyon move up to 11th place in the Ligue 1 table.
Paris Saint-Germain will next face Brest at home on January 16th while Lyon will travel to play 16th placed Troyes at Stade de l’Aube. PSG will be hopeful of their stars returning who are currently injured while some are isolated including Lionel Messi who returned a negative test.
