João Neves’ Stoppage‑Time Header Lifts PSG Over Lyon to Reclaim Ligue 1 Lead

Luis Enrique hailed the resilience of a rotated side missing several starters.

Overview

  • PSG beat Lyon 3-2 at Groupama Stadium with Neves heading in the winner at 90+5 after goals from Zaïre‑Emery, Moreira, Kvaratskhelia and Maitland‑Niles.
  • Nicolas Tagliafico was sent off at 90+3 before the decisive corner, a flashpoint in a match refereed by Benoît Bastien with VAR having earlier denied Lyon a penalty.
  • Paris dominated possession at 72% but created limited clear chances and conceded twice on defensive lapses, including a long‑range lob for Lyon’s second equalizer.
  • With Dembélé, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes and Désiré Doué out, PSG made five changes and leaned on younger options as Enrique emphasized mentality and resilience.
  • The result puts PSG two points clear of Marseille and Lens at the top, while Lyon slip to seventh after a third straight league match without a win and public complaints about officiating.
