PSG 1-3 Lorient, Highlights, Ligue 1 update: Mbappe goal in vain as Messi and co. lose

Full time. PSG has been annihilated by 11th-placed Lorient, which managed only four wins in the last 22 matches but came good against Messi and Mbappe’s side. PSG, however, retains its first place in the points table as it continues to lead over second-placed Olympique de Marseille by eight points.

Lorient is near the cusp of victory as PSG has stopped putting in any piercing efforts.

GOALLLLLL! Bamba Dieng finally celebrates as this time he scores being on in an onside position.

Once the referee says play on, Mvogo puts the ball down and releases it to take a goal kick but Mbappe takes his chance to steal the ball and scores a goal which seems unethical for Lorient players but the decision stands as he scores staying within the rules of the game.
