Monaco break Paris hearts with last-gasp equaliser

Monaco scored an injury-time equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw with bitter rivals Paris Saint-Germain.

Anthony Martial earned the visitors a draw with a scrappy goal after Lucas Moura looked to have given the Parisians three points when he turned in a cross 20 minutes from time after good work by the impressive Javier Pastore.

Laurent Blanc's side move into third place with the draw, seven points behind leaders Marseille, while Monaco climb into 13th position.

Despite the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic through injury, the hosts began well with Marco Verratti and Pastore wasting good opportunities.

Moura then used his electric pace to good effect but poked his shot wide with the goal at his mercy.

Leonardo Jardim's side got better as the half wore on with Lucas Ocampos going close with a low-range effort before the impressive Yannick Carrasco struck the crossbar with a vicious first-time effort that Salvatore Sirigu got a hand to.

Monaco, who were without Dimitar Berbatov and Jeremy Toulalan, had Danijel Subasic to thank for keeping them in the game when he got a hand to Jean-Christophe Bahebeck's shot.

PSG then had Gregory Van Der Wiel to thank for a clearance off the line before they took the lead when Bahebeck's cross was stroked in by Moura.

But against the run of play, the visitors grabbed a draw when they punished some sloppy defending with substitute Martial's shot finding the net.

5' - PSG CHANCE! First chance falls to Verratti who blazes the ball over from the edge of the box after Lucas' cut back.

11' - PASTORE EFFORT! What was Pastore doing? The Argentine opts to place his header across the box instead of going for goal from six yards out.

14' - MONACO CHANCE! Ocampos tries his luck from 20 yards and fires his shot narrowly over after the ball bobbled to him.

25' - LUCAS SHOT! Pastore with a mazy run before sending Lucas clear but the Brazilian cannot find the target from eight yards out.

43' - WOODWORK! Moutinho's low pass finds Carrasco whose first time strike rattles the crossbar.

56' - GOOD SAVE! What a save from Subasic to get a hand to Bahebeck's cross stroke shot.

60' - GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY! Van Der Wiel with a sensational clearance off the line to deny Kurzawa who had an empty goal to aim at after Sirigu could only parry a cross.

70' - GOAL! PSG 1-0 Monaco: Bahebeck's low cross is tapped in by Lucas at the far post.

90’+2 - GOAL! PSG 1-1 Monaco: Martial hits the ball into the ground and the ball bobbles in after pinball in the area.

The last five Ligue 1 games between these two sides has ended in draws.

Lucas Moura scored his third goal of the season.

This is the first time in three games that Monaco have scored.

Can PSG come back and regain the title? They are now seven points behind an impressive Marseille team. It's early days but without Zlatan Ibrahimovic they lack the goals and killer instinct with Edinson Cavani a shadow of the player he was at Napoli. Laurent Blanc will point to their injuries but they have drawn too many league games so far.

Javier Pastore (Paris St Germain) - The Argentine is enjoying his best start to a season in France and showcased his trickery and passing ability. He missed a chance with a header early on but sprang to life when played more centrally in the second half. Pastore was involved in the move for Moura's goal and looked like the player that saw him rise to fame at Palermo.
