PARIS (Reuters) - Lorient shocked Paris St Germain with a 3-1 victory at the Parc des Princes after the Ligue 1 leaders were reduced to 10 men when Achraf Hakimi was sent off early in the first half.
PSG, who have now lost nine games in all competitions in 2023, remain on 75 points from 33 games and they could see their Ligue 1 lead cut to five points if Olympique Marseille beat Auxerre later on Sunday. Lorient moved up to 10th.
PSG were down a man five minutes later when Hakimi received his second yellow card after a late challenge on Darline Yongwa, before Kylian Mbappe equalised in bizarre circumstances following an error from goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo. But with the man advantage, Lorient took the game to PSG with Le Fee and Faivre pulling the strings. The second goal came when Faivre danced into the box and his deflected cross from the byline fell to Yongwa, who made it 2-1.
