Neymar Sent Off as Lille Defeat PSG to Move Into First in Ligue 1

Neymar was sent off with his second yellow card as Lille moved into first place with a 1–0 win at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian superstar made headlines for all the wrong reasons in what could be a potential title decider in Ligue 1, earning a red card in the 90th minute for pushing Lille defender Tiago Djalo, who also saw red for the altercation.

The two sides entered the weekend tied on points for first place atop Ligue 1, but Lille, this year's French Cinderella story, prevailed with a formidable defensive effort after Jonathan David's 20th minute goal.
