PSG fall to Lille: Failures mount as Neymar and Mbappe fail to lead floundering Paris giants

Brazilian dismissed late on as Pochettino's men lost at home again

PARIS Lille OSC are top of Ligue 1 by three points after a deserved 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes on in a match that saw both sides finish with 10 men on Saturday. Jonathan David scored the only goal of the game for Christophe Galtier's men after 20 minutes and Mauricio Pochettino's side had no answer to their visitors' solitary strike as Neymar and Tiago Djalo were both dismissed late on for second bookings in a clash that carried on down the tunnel. LOSC are now three points clear of PSG with seven games remaining in what is now a four-horse race for the Championnat title with AS Monaco and Olympique Lyonnais also concerned. Les Dogues and ASM will both meet OL in what could be the deciding clashes for the 2020-21 season but Lille's win in Paris also has the potential to be the moment that the tide turned against the defending champions for good. Although PSG have arguably the easiest run-in of the title contenders, they are three points adrift of their conquerors and have now lost to LOSC, Monaco and Lyon at home without even managing to score a single goal. Extending Les Parisiens' current form outside of the title race, they have lost three consecutive home fixtures in Ligue 1 for the first time since 2007 and eight times in total -- double the tally of rivals Lyon.
