**Paris Saint-Germain beat Le Mans 3-1** at the Parc des Princes on Saturday 10 October, with **Khvicha Kvaratskhelia** scoring two minutes after coming off the bench, but the champions are still only **fifth in Ligue 1**, [Dawn reported](https://www.dawn.com/news/2036303/psg-beat-le-mans-3-1-as-monaco-stay-top-despite-draw) from Reuters. "PSG vs Le Mans" and the Ligue 1 standings were among the football searches trending in Pakistan overnight.

## How the goals went

- **1-0:** centre-back **Lucas Beraldo** scored from the penalty spot.
- **1-1:** **Louis Mafouta** equalised for Le Mans in the second half.
- **2-1:** coach **Luis Enrique** sent on Kvaratskhelia, and the Georgian scored within two minutes, just before the hour.
- **3-1:** **Maghnes Akliouche** added the third, his first goal for PSG since joining from Monaco.
- **Late miss:** **Desire Doue** had a penalty saved by Le Mans goalkeeper **Nicolas Kocik** in added time.

Off the pitch, scuffles broke out in one stand when police tried to remove a fans' banner, and the stand was briefly cleared.

## Ligue 1 table after Saturday

| Position | Team | Points | Saturday |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Monaco | 14 | drew 2-2 with Toulouse |
| 2 | Lille | 13 | beat Le Havre 1-0 |
| 4 | Paris FC | 11 | lost 1-0 to Lorient |
| 5 | PSG | 11 (after six games) | beat Le Mans 3-1 |

Paris FC sit above PSG on goal difference. Monaco led Toulouse 2-0 at half-time through **Edan Diop** and **Matthis Abline**, but Casper Tengstedt's penalty and a first goal for teenager **Sion Oppong** earned Toulouse a point. Elsewhere, **Brest beat Angers 5-1**, scoring four times before half-time, and Lille won through Dilane Bakwa's fifth-minute goal.

## Why PSG are behind

Six games in, PSG have dropped points in a way that leaves them three behind Monaco, unusual for a side that has dominated French football for a decade. A home win over Le Mans was expected; the slow first hour, Le Mans' equaliser and the missed penalty showed why Luis Enrique has been rotating his attack.
