PSG turns deficit around late in Strasbourg - Lens wins at Troyes
The capital club, with their fourth consecutive league win, takes the league lead, at least temporarily; Lens secures a victory at Troyes with Samson Baidoo.
Paris Saint-Germain has temporarily claimed the top spot in the league standings.
The capital club secured a 3-1 victory against Racing Strasbourg, despite the hosts leading until the closing stages.
Gio Reyna gave "Les Bleu et Blanc" the lead in the 17th minute. Ousmane Dembele missed a penalty (72'), but Illia Zabarnyi (77'), Dembele (85'), and Desire Doue (90.+3) ensured a late turnaround.
Second League Appearance for Baidoo
RC Lens also celebrated a 3-1 away victory. "Les Sang et Or" took the lead through an own goal by Adrien Monfray, with Timothee Nkada leveling the score at 1-1 in the middle of the first half (26'). Nevertheless, the visitors went into halftime with a lead, as Odsonne Edouard restored it (45.+3).
The decisive goal came shortly after the break, when Ruben Aguilar scored the final goal after an assist from Florin Thauvin. Samson Baidoo entered the field in the 60th minute for last season's vice-champions.
Lille Misses Chance to Top the Table
PSG thus moves into first place in Ligue 1, at least temporarily, while Lens improves to seventh.
OSC Lille, however, missed the opportunity to jump to the top. "Les Dogues" could not manage more than a 1-1 draw at home against Brest and is now in second place, level on points with the Parisians.
