MATCH REPORT - ICARDI SPARES PSG'S BLUSHES AS RAMOS SEES RED
Fancy some in-depth analysis of the game? Here's our take on what was, despite some extremely wayward finishing, a highly entertaining encounter.
End of 2nd Half
FT
HONOURS EVEN
Lorient will be massively disappointed not to have got all three points there but, had they not been so wasteful in front of goal, PSG wouldn't have been able to steal a draw right at the end. Nonetheless, it was a lacklustre performance from Pochettino's side even if, thanks to second-placed Marseille dropping two points against Reims, they maintain their 13-point lead at the summit.
90+1'
GOAL!
It's heartbreak for Lorient, with PSG equalising through Icardi in injury time. The former Inter Milan forward rises highest to head home, salvaging a point for the league leaders.

RED CARD!
Ramos gets his marching orders after blocking off Moffi. It was a cynical foul and merited a second yellow.

DESPAIR FOR MESSI
He may not have scored, but Messi has been brilliant tonight. If only the same could be said about his teammates. He shows fantastic close control to set up Idrissa Gueye on the edge of the area. Gueye takes a wild shot which sails over.

YELLOW CARD FOR RAMOS
Ramos gets a booking after getting up to his usual shenanigans at a corner.

MESSI FIRES WIDE!
Having worked an opening outside the box and shifted the ball onto his left foot, Messi sends an effort whistling just wide of the upright.
67'
WRONG OPTION!
Laurent Abergel smashes a shot over the crossbar from distance when he had teammates either side of him. As wasteful as PSG have been, Lorient could do with a second goal here.
65'
DI MARIA MISSES AGAIN
Having been given a chance to redeem his earlier howler, Di Maria slices another shot into the stands from a promising position.
60'
PSG LIVING DANGEROUSLY
Lorient tear forwards on the counter-attack for the umpteenth time, but Ouattara squanders another good chance. The hosts still look the likelier side to score.
59'
SO CLOSE!
Lauriente charges through on the right and unleashes a shot which is deflected off Presnel Kimpembe, forcing Navas into a desperate save.
56'
TERRIBLE MISS!
Messi turns creator once again, shimmying through on the right before picking out the onrushing Di Maria. With the goal gaping, he somehow contrives to thunder his shot over the crossbar.
54'
GREAT PASS!
Messi hooks a fantastic cross-field ball to Di Maria, who whips a cross into the box. Icardi gets on the end of it, but can't get his header on target.
52'
WIJNALDUM MISSES!
Hakimi gets a decent delivery into the box and Wijnaldum gets on the end of it, but pokes a shot wide.
50'
WASTED CHANCE!
Lorient should be 2-0 up but, having found himself in acres of space in the box, Ouattara gets the ball caught beneath his feet and allows Georginio Wijnaldum to get back and make a block.

BREAK IN PLAY
Monconduit has picked up a knock and needs medical treatment. It looks like he'll be able to continue, thankfully.
