Thanks to the added-time headed winner from João Neves, Paris Saint-Germain now have a two-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table ahead of Olympique de Marseille and RC Lens. Following their 1-0 win over OGC Nice at the Parc des Princes last week - once again thanks to a header, this time from Gonçalo Ramos - the capital club have won their last two league games thanks to goals scored in added time at the end of the second half. That's as many as in their previous 100 top-flight encounters and a first in two successive league games since September 2021.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated OL for the fifth successive Ligue 1 meeting, a first for Lyon against the same top-flight opponent since AS Nancy-Lorraine inflicted five consecutive losses on them between 1982 and 1991. OL tallied just 27.9% possession on Sunday, their lowest total in a league game since OPTA started analysis of the competition (2006-07).
With an absolute missile to open the scoring and record his sixth Ligue 1 goal, Warren Zaïre-Emery became the first player born in 2006 or later to score more than five top-flight goals.
You have to celebrate bringing up your 100th competitive appearance for Paris Saint-Germain, right? Lee Kang-In certainly did as he notched a 13th assist - on the winning goal to boot - to add to his 13 goals for the Red-and-Blues.
With two assists - to move to a league-leading six for the season - and named Player of the Match, the Portugal midfielder was one of the main architects of the victory. He has eight assists in all competitions, more than any other player in one of Europe's top five leagues.
