Georginio Wijnaldum snatched a late goal for Paris Saint-Germain to draw at Lens 1-1 after goalkeeper Keylor Navas made a big blunder during their enthralling French league game on Saturday.
The league leaders looked set for their second loss until the Dutch midfielder jumped higher than his marker in added time to head home a pinpoint cross from Kylian Mbappe.
PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino's substitutions proved decisive as Mbappe and Wijnaldum came in for the last 20 minutes.
In front of a buoyant crowd at Stade Felix Bollaert, Lens played with pace and flair but missed a cutting edge until Seko Fofana broke the stalemate in the 62nd minute.
PSG looked disorganized most of the time. Lionel Messi, who was awarded a record-extending seventh Ballon d'Or this week, hit the woodwork in the first half and could not add to his meager tally of one goal in the league since he joined this summer. Neymar was out injured.
Lens took the lead while Messi was lying on the pitch following contact with Facundo Medina. Fofana unleashed a powerful long-range strike that Navas failed to block.
Despite two consecutive draws, PSG increased its lead to 13 points after second-placed Marseille lost at home against Brest 2-1.

I'm a Messi Fan but Messi is so Disappointing this Days, the Post is wide Open for you why must you always find the Bar? Are you doing Bar Challenge in a Live Match? You have lost 5 Classic Goals this Season to the Bar, this isn't Bad luck, this is lack of Personal Training. PSG has to do something about it, if his not ready to play football let him sit on the Bench, if I'm a Coach, I will Bench him for like 3 Matches, let him go and take his Personal training Serious. Since Messi came to PSG he has been so much attached to outside the Pitch, so many Interviews and many other Unserious things, there's time for everything, when you retire you can have all the time for off the Pitch Activities. Messi has lost Discipline and Challenges, he doesn't Challenge himself and he doesn't Challenge with others. Personal Training has completely dropped, even if I don't live with him I can see it on the Pitch, I doubt if he still frequents the Gym. Messi of before, when he was flopping with Penalties, he went back and trained himself and since then he hasn't lost any Penalty. Messi when he was Bad with Free Kicks, he went back and trained himself and we all can see the result. Right now Messi has to go and Work on Positioning and Finishing he has dropped Form so much on that, look at that 18mins chance, if it were before everyone who knows Messi would have been celebrating Goal even before he Scores. Messi please go back to your Drawing Board and Discipline yourself, you still have so many Unfinished Business on the Pitch. I don't want to talk about the Coach, Pochetino he doesn't have Tactics to refine a Team that is Firing Blank, I hope PSG realize this on Time, his almost a Clueless Coach. Thanks!
