Ligue 1: PSG lose for the first time since March
Lens 3 - 1 Paris Saint Germain
There was a shock result in Ligue 1. PSG lost for the first time since March as they were beaten by in-form Lens side.
Second-placed Lens have lost only once in 17 Ligue 1 games this season and are now just four points behind Christophe Galtier's star-studded league leaders.
Lois Openda scored one goal and set up another for Franck Haise's side.
They were without Neymar, who was suspended after being sent off on Wednesday, and Lionel Messi, who continues his post-World Cup recovery.
The hosts led after five minutes when Przemyslaw Frankowski volleyed into an empty net after a rebound off Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Hugo Ekitike quickly equalised for PSG but Openda beat defender Marquinhos and fired past Donnarumma into the bottom corner to give Lens the lead again in the 28th minute.
Alexis Claude-Maurice added a third two minutes into the second half and - despite Kylian Mbappe playing the full game - the club from northern France held on for a notable victory.

One English-based PSG fan told us: "This team without Messi really is shocking in attack. It's like without him pulling the strings we fall apart. Let this be a show of how important Messi is. We really struggled to get going. We have an awesome attack, and Verratti is awesome in midfield, but I have said for years that Verratti can't do it alone. This is why Messi was a blessing to him."
One YouTuber wondered if Lens can go all the way and win the title: "Imagine if Lens win the title. PSG should be winning this league every single season. They bottled it to Monaco and Lille already in the last 5/6 years."
