Another humiliating display from PSG sees them suffer a 3-2 defeat to 5th-placed Montpellier as Presnel Kimpembe scores an own goal for two games running.

Match Events

12' OWN GOAL! Montpellier 0-1 PSG (Oyongo)

Just moments after making a vital challenge to deny Alves, Oyongo has sliced high into his own net.

Bernat got free down the left and delivered a neat cut-back, and though there was no PSG player present, Oyongo could only hook it past Lecomte.

21' OWN GOAL! Montpellier 1-1 PSG (Kimpembe)

More torrid defending from PSG, as dreadful marking allows Le Tallec to meet the ball unmarked six yards out.

His header was going wide, but Kimpembe – who of course conceded the free-kick in needless fashion – could not get out of the way, and deflected it past Buffon.

30' Kimpembe makes another mistake!

Kimpembe is really struggling at the moment, and conceded a sloppy pass straight to Delort, who wasted no time in getting a shot off. 

PSG’s veteran goalkeeper did well to tip it over, but Montpellier weren’t finished there, with Buffon getting down low to his right to divert Skhiri’s effort wide.

41' Superb save from Buffon!

From a free-kick, Mollet goes for goal. Buffon lunges at it and makes a connection, only for the ball to bounce back off Paredes and very nearly end up as a second own goal from the visitors.

43' What a miss! Delort's shot over the bar

That should have been 2-1 to Montpellier! Laborde stole a march on his marker and dinked a lofted ball over to Delort, who somehow manages to send his effort over from point-blank range.

62' GOAL! Montpellier 1-2 PSG (Di Maria)

It’s 2-1 now, thanks to a moment of magic from Di Maria. Marquinhos managed to bundle the ball into the Argentine’s path.

Despite having no space to work with, and the goalkeeper closing him down, Di Maria twisted his way around Lecomte and tucked home.

70' WHAT A BLOCK! Incredible defending from Mendes

That is incredible defending from Mendes, who somehow got back to hook Draxler’s lofted finish off the line. It looked for all the world as though PSG would have their third.

80' GOAL! Montpellier 2-2 PSG (Delort)

Lecomte launched a huge thrown out from his box, with Mollet cushioning a brilliant pass into Delort, who got the better of Dagba before lifting a composed finish over Buffon.

Delort’s finish was composed, but the pass to play him through from Mollet was exceptional.

80' GOAL! Montpellier 3-2 PSG (Camara)

The comeback is complete, after Paredes gives the ball away following a risky pass by Buffon. Skhiri manages to turn it towards Camara, and the substitute slots home with a first-time finish.

If you needed an example of how bad PSG have been today, that goal would sum it up nicely.

Match Report

Paris Saint-Germain failed to bounce back from their Coupe de France final disappointment as they slipped to a 3-2 Ligue 1 defeat to Montpellier on Tuesday.

Thomas Tuchel's side threw away a two-goal lead to ultimately lose on penalties to Rennes on Saturday and never looked like returning to winning ways in a display characterised by woeful defending and scant attacking threat.

Ambroise Oyongo's own goal put them ahead after 12 minutes but Presnel Kimpembe – who endured a torrid game – put through his own net at the other end in the 21st minute to draw the hosts level.

Angel Di Maria had looked like securing just a second win in six games across all competitions for the Ligue 1 champions but, after missing a number of golden opportunities, Andy Delort showed superb composure in the 80th minute to draw Montpellier level.

Substitute Souleymane Camara then took advantage of a Leandro Paredes error fire past Gianluigi Buffon five minutes from time to secure a famous win.
