Pochettino's reign as PSG boss gets off to frustrating start with 1-1 draw

  /  autty

It wasn't the explosive start to life at Paris Saint-Germain that Mauricio Pochettino was dreaming of as his side were held to a 1-1 draw at Saint-Etienne.

The former Tottenham manager took charge of his first game as PSG boss on Tuesday but saw his star-studded side fall behind in the 19th minute through Romain Hamouma.

However, just three minutes later PSG drew level thanks to Moise Kean, and Pochettino was hoping for a immediate turnaround against Saint-Etienne.

But that did not come, and despite enjoying the majority share of possession, the Ligue 1 giants struggled to break their opponents down - who sit 14th in the table.

The result now leaves PSG three points behind league leaders Lyon, who narrowly overcame Lens 3-2 on Tuesday thanks to goals a Memphis Depay brace and a Steven Fortes own-goal.
