Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 2-2 home draw by Reims on Sunday after PSG boss Luis Enrique benched top-scorer Kylian Mbappe, who played only the last 20 minutes.

Reims shocked the home side by taking the lead in the seventh minute when Achraf Hakimi dithered on the ball in the box as Oumar Diakite pinched it from the full back near the goal line and teed up Marshall Munetsi for a tap-in.

But PSG roared back with two goals in two minutes, the first, an own goal when a corner went in off the Reims defender Yunis Abdelhamid before Goncalo Ramos made it 2-1 when the ball fell to him in the box after a botched clearance.

However, Reims equalised when Diakite beat the offside trap to latch onto Emmanuel Agbadou’s superb pass to guide his shot past Keylor Navas in goal.
