Overview
- Takumi Minamino struck in the 68th minute at Stade Louis-II to hand Paris Saint-Germain their second league loss of the season.
- PSG stay on 30 points and could be knocked off top spot if Marseille beat Toulouse on Saturday night or Lens win at Angers on Sunday, while Monaco climb to 23 points and provisionally sixth.
- The match featured a dangerous early tackle by Lamine Camara on PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier that drew only a yellow card, and a late VAR-upgraded red card to Thilo Kehrer in the 80th minute.
- Chevalier said his ankle scare "could have changed" his career, as Luis Enrique also expressed disbelief at the leniency, even as Monaco celebrated a needed win under Sébastien Pocognoli with Paul Pogba earning home minutes.
- Earlier in the week, French clubs split results in Europe as Lyon thrashed Maccabi Tel-Aviv 6-0 with a Corentin Tolisso hat-trick, Lille beat Dinamo Zagreb 4-0, and Nice fell 3-0 at Porto after conceding inside 18 seconds; Marseille’s Roberto De Zerbi flagged injuries and looming Africa Cup of Nations call-ups for key players.
