🚨 PSG held to shock draw with Reims in Ligue 1

Scorers: Nakamura 9′; Dembele 68′

PSG’s perfect defence of the Ligue 1 crown came to a shock end as they were held to a surprise draw by Reims on Saturday evening.

Luis Enrique’s side fell behind after just nine minutes as Japanese teammates Junior Ito and Keito Nakamura combined before the latter poked the ball home to hand the home side the lead.

It was their only shot on target of the half, with the French champions dominating the ball without creating too much, and they headed into the break trailing for the first time this season.

Just after the hour mark though, the pressure on Reims finally told as Ousmane Dembele was on hand to find an equaliser after a cross from the left evaded everyone inside the penalty area.

But despite piling on the pressure late on, the Parisians could not find the winner that their dominance deserved, and had to settle for a point on the road.

It is a result that means Marseille can move level at the top of Ligue 1 should they win their game against Lyon tomorrow night.
