Paris Saint-Germain held to draw by Lorient

Four days before the Champions League match at FC Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 2-2 draw by FC Lorient in Ligue 1. Head coach Luis Enrique gave numerous regular players a breather. Ibrahim Mbaye (6’) handed Paris an early lead at Parc des Princes, with Lorient’s Pablo Pagis levelling the scores six minutes later. PSG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery (62’) made it 2-1, but Aiyegun Tosin (78’) scored another equaliser. Paris top the Ligue 1 table six points clear of RC Lens with three matchdays to go.

“ I think we would have deserved to win. We created enough chances but hit the post twice. We have to accept that. It’s a shame because we needed the three points,” Enrique said after the final whistle.

PSG line-up against Lorient: Marin – Mayulu, Beraldo, Pacho, Lucas Hernández – Lee, Ruiz (Zaïre-Emery 61’), Fernandez – Mbaye (João Neves 62’), Doué (Mounguengue 75’), Barcola
