Alidu Seidu fights for the ball with Kylian Mbappe during the French L1 football match between Clermont Foot 63 and Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Gabriel Montpied in Clermont-Ferrand, central France on September 30, 2023. AFPPIX: Monaco went top of Ligue 1 with a 3-2 win over Gennaro Gattuso's Marseille on Saturday after Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Clermont.
However, Monaco's USA striker Folarin Balogun -- who had two penalties saved in last week's defeat by Nice -- made it 2-2 midway through the first half, completing a remarkable opening to the game at the Stade Louis II. Meanwhile, Marseille have now gone three games without a win, and conceded 10 goals, since previous coach Marcelino Garcia Toral resigned.
“The only way we can turn this around is by working hard. I don’t know if three days before playing Brighton will be enough. The football I want to play is not easy, it needs time. But I think this team can do well.”PSG were warming up for a Champions League trip to Newcastle United as they went to Clermont, where Kylian Mbappe started having recovered from the ankle injury which forced him off in the first half of last week's 4-0 win over Marseille.
“I knew the pitch was new, they changed it three days ago, but we were unlucky to have to play on it in these conditions.” They are still winless, but the unexpected point lifts them off the foot of the table on goal difference from Lyon, who play on Sunday.
