🇫🇷 PSG extend unbeaten Ligue 1 streak with win over Lyon

Paris Saint-Germain racked up a 15th unbeaten game in Ligue 1 with a 3-1 win over Lyon.

Scorers: Dembélé 8, Vitinha (PEN) 14′, Ramos 88′; Mikautadze 40′

Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring within the first eight minutes with a sweeping finish inside the area after being teed up by Désiré Doué’s cutback.

Luis Enrique’s side doubled their lead a short while later courtesy of a Vitinha penalty for Corentin Tolisso’s rash challenge on Doué as he shaped to shoot.

But Les Gones halved the deficit just before the interval when Georges Mikautadze eluded Les Parisiens’ defence to meet Rayan Cherki’s pass before slotting home.

Play was stopped for several minutes in the second half due to unsavoury chants, prompting PSG captain Achraf Hakimi to intervene and speak to supporters.

Substitute Gonçalo Ramos added a third for the hosts by turning the ball home at the near post after Doué’s initial effort ha been spilled by Lucas Perri.

The defending Ligue 1 champions now hold a seven-point lead at the summit while Lyon remain fifth with 25 points from their opening 15 matches this season.
