PSG suffer first league defeat of the season

French Ligue 1 giants, Paris St-Germain suffered their first league defeat of the season as they were beaten by struggling Racing Strasbourg on Saturday.

The hosts got ahead by a Nuno da Costa header just 13 minutes into the game, before Kylian Mbappe equalised from Adrien Rabiot’s pass before the break.

But Stephane Bahoken scored the winner, smashing home after da Costa flicked on a long ball from goalkeeper Bingourou Kamara.

There were goal chances for the Paris side during stoppage time but were not well executed, most notably when Mbappe fired over from close range.

PSG are now 10 points above second-placed Marseille, who play Montpellier on Sunday.
