Neymar Stretchered Off As PSG Drop To Third

Neymar was first stretchered off late found in the overall game as Paris Saint-Germain suffered a good 1-0 loss to ten-man Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday night.

PSG built three changes from the big make an impression on Istanbul Basaksehir found in midweek, with Kylian Mbappe surprisingly benched, as Angel Di Maria, Abdou Diallo and Moise Kean were pretty much all recalled.

The overall game was open in the first stages however the sides were yet to carve out clear openings within the last third, with the visitors looking more threatening.

The hosts were forced to produce a substitution in the half-hour mark just after centre-back Diallo sustained a personal injury and he was replaced by Thilo Kehrer.

Lyon began to cause problems after that and soon after missing a sitter, Tino Kadewere eventually broke the deadlock for OL with a good composed finish in to the bottom corner after a good through ball by Karl Toko Ekambi.

Thomas Tuchel's charges began to get into the overall game in the closing phase of the first stanza nonetheless they could not incorporate effectively in the last third plus they visited the break trailing by an odd goal. Due to this fact, Tuchel built a double change in the 65th minute as he induced Mbappe and Ander Herrera instead of Di Maria and Marco Verratti.

However, Lyon had been the virtually all threatening side, mainly because Lucas Paqueta came near doubling the lead for Rudi Garcia's men two minutes later with a powerful drive from the edge of the box that was brillliantly preserved simply by shot-stopper Keylor Navas in underneath corner.

The visitors were threatening to kill off the overall game on counter-attacks in the closing phase, with PSG lacking their usual firepower and Bruno Guimaraes came close in the last minute but his shot was parried away by Navas.

Lyon ended the overall game with ten men after Thiago Mendes, who was simply initially handed a yellow card found his card upgraded to red following the referee reviewed the incident on the Video Assistant Referee monitor, for a good bad sliding challenge on Neymar's ankle.

Ultimately OL held to the win and went up to second on the log, a spot above the Parisians and equal on tips with log leaders Lille but behind by virtue of a substandard goal difference.
