PSG just placed a great gift under their supporters Christmas Tree with a stunning 4-0 home win over Grenoble at the Parc des Princes, meaning the capital club finished 2009 in seventh place on the ladder...

Finishing 2009 on the right note and looking forward to the New Year with confidence and ambition... That was the aim ahead of PSG’s final match of the year against Grenoble. The home side didn’t hang about against Grenoble team that has bounced back admirably from a poor start to the campaign. But two goals in the opening 20 minutes set the tone for the hosts, as the festive spirit invaded the Parc...

Luyindula was involved early. The France striker meeting Jallet’s cross to beat Le Crom who was preparing for a tough old evening at the office (1-0,9’). The GF38 custodian barely had time to recover before he was picking the ball out of the back of the net for a second time after a lovely combination between Sessegnon and Armand (2-0, 19’).


In less than 20 minutes, Grenoble may have lost all chances of surviving the drop, but they never gave up. And Courtois almost fired them back into the game when his effort came back off Edel’s crossbar (50’).

Erding finally made the game safe with a wonderful curling finish (3-0, 65’). The GF38 supporters, who only arrived after an hour’s play, looked on in disbelief and it wasn’t finished yet...


Christophe Jallet took advantage of a moment’s hesitation from Le Crom, after a Luyindula dummy to add goal number four with a free-kick (4-0, 80’). PSG finish 2009 on a high and can now look towards a great 2010!
