Ligue 1 Results, Round 5
After two convincing wins before the international break, Paris Saint-Germain have fallen at the Parc des Princes against OGC Nice. Despite conceding a late 2-2 away draw at Lorient, AS Monaco remain top of Ligue 1.
PSG 2 – 3 Nice
Les Parisiens have suffered their first defeat of the season against a Terem Moffi-inspired OGC Nice. The brilliant Nigerian forward found the back of the net twice and provided the assist for Gaëtan Laborde’s goal. Kylian Mbappé’s classy brace was in vain.
