Paris Saint-Germain suffered their second consecutive Ligue 1 defeat, after he fell 2-1 to Champions League-Chasing Strasbourg.
Match report
The 14th league goal of the Bradley Barcola season turned out to be academic for the many changed visitors in Stade de la Meinau, where the hosts held to fourth place with two more games.
The side of Liam Rosenior – unbeaten in 11 games – broke the impasse in the 20th minute when Mamadou Sarr's header from an Inswinghoek brewed in Lucas Hernandez.
Strassbourg doubled their lead in the first half of the stopping time, while Felix Lemarechal is brilliant curled in the upper corner beyond a helpless Matvey Safonov.
PSG answered within 44 seconds after the restart, where Barcola burst through the left flank before he defeated Djordje Petrovic to halve the shortage.
The Ligue 1 champions insisted on a late equalizer. Goncalo Ramos went wide, while the attacker was also brilliantly refused by Petrovic in stopping, while the hosts held the points for all three points.
