Lyon 2-1 Paris Saint-Germain: Historic unbeaten run comes to an end

Feb 28, 2016 5:05:48 PM

Lyon was in fine form to end Paris Saint-Germain's hopes of going the whole Ligue 1 season without defeat.

Paris Saint-Germain's record 36-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1 came to an abrupt end as it went down to a 2-1 defeat at Lyon on Sunday.

Lyon was irresistible in the first half and stunned the visiting side when Maxwel Cornet's slick early strike was followed up by a wonderful individual goal from Sergi Darder.

PSG had to respond and it did raise hopes of a comeback that would preserve an undefeated sequence that has run since March 2015 when Lucas Moura struck a curler early in the second half, but the home side held on for a famous victory.
