"Depleted Paris Saint-Germain snatched a last-gasp victory for the second weekend in a row to reclaim top spot in the Ligue 1 table. After beating Nice at the death last Saturday, they did the same against Lyon, João Neves securing a 3-2 win five minutes into stoppage time. Lyon had twice hit back from a goal down, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles' spectacular equaliser early in the second half looking set to earn them a point until a dramatic ending that also saw a red card for home player Nicolás Tagliafico."
"A Champions League loss to Bayern Munich in midweek was costly not just for the dropped points but for more injuries to key men in Luis Enrique's squad. Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes were all missing for this clash, joining Désiré Doué on the sidelines. The visitors made the more positive start and were rewarded in the 26th minute when Vitinha picked out the run of Warren Zaïre-Emery on the right and the teenager rifled a shot past Dominik Greif. That kicked off a spell of three goals in seven minutes, with Lyon needing only four minutes to draw level."
Paris Saint-Germain recovered a 3-2 win over Lyon with João Neves scoring five minutes into stoppage time to secure top spot in Ligue 1. PSG started positively despite injuries, with Vitinha setting up Warren Zaïre-Emery’s opener in the 26th minute. Lyon responded quickly through Afonso Moreira and later equalised in the second half via Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ chipped finish. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had earlier put PSG back ahead before Maitland-Niles levelled. The match ended dramatically with Nicolás Tagliafico sent off and PSG prevailing at the death despite a depleted squad.
