Lyon 2 Paris Saint-Germain 1: Fekir penalty ends PSG's unbeaten run

Nabil Fekir's second-half penalty proved decisive as Lyon ended Paris Saint-Germain's unbeaten start to the 2018-19 Ligue 1 season.

Paris Saint-Germain's unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season is over after the league leaders suffered a 2-1 defeat to Lyon on Sunday.

The defending champions, who were without star man Neymar due to injury, had won 18 games and drawn two prior to their visit to the Groupama Stadium, but they were handed their first loss thanks to goals from Moussa Dembele and Nabil Fekir.

When Angel Di Maria opened the scoring early it looked like a familiar story, however Lyon were writing their own script and dominated the opening period.
