00:00it's a huge game this Sunday night in Ligue 1, the reigning champions and current leaders
00:10Paris Saint-Germain with the opportunity to extend their advantage at the top of the table
00:15but their opponents Olympique Lyonnais arrive here in tremendous form
00:19unbeaten in nine in all competitions and just one loss in their last 15.
00:24some really interesting selection decisions as well two teams are showcasing the
00:36here they come again
00:40back to Hakimi it's cleared away by Lucas Perry and then the shot from the edge of the box
00:46deflected over for the first corner of the game well it's a bright start from the home team
00:52there's Warren Zaire Emery on the edge of the box who just swung a leg at that
00:57Clinton Mata against the starting lineup again
01:01usual 4-3-3 formation, Dewey playing on the left wing chosen ahead of Bradley
01:07Barcola driving into the penalty box cuts it back from Dembele it's a superb goal
01:15and Paris Saint-Germain have the early breakthrough
01:19Luis Enrique's selection decision entirely justified there, Desiree Dewey
01:25producing the goal with a brilliant turn on the left-hand side to get away from Ainsley Maitland-Niles
01:32driving towards the byline and cutting it back for Ousmane Dembele
01:38he sweeps it into the net for his sixth goal of the season it's Paris Saint-Germain 1-0
01:45Luna Mendes picked up by Ousmane Dembele, Mendes cuts it back, Desiree Dewey, it's a penalty
02:01he's just trying to shuffle that ball out from under his feet, double their leads inside the
02:06first quarter of an hour, Conte and Talisa with the foul and there is not much doubt about that is there
02:15just trying in vain to get his body in between Dewey and the ball
02:31Vitinha to make it 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain inside the first 15 minutes
02:38and cool as you like waiting for Lucas Perry to make the move and rolling it the other side
02:49there is daylight between the teams on a gloomy night here in Paris
02:56smiles among the substitutes Marquinhos on the bench this evening delight for the home fans
03:08a remarkable calm from Vitinha his third goal this season
03:14here across the last campaign it's as many as Rondel Koulamwane
03:21Koulamwane who is entirely absent this evening
03:27not even among the subs as Emmanuel Mats heavy defeats in league meetings of the clubs last season
03:33and here come Paris Saint-Germain again Dempele across to lead big opportunity to make it 3-0
03:42now the touch just allowed the defender to come off
03:47how on earth could Leon leave themselves so exposed
03:51so
03:59with the in-swinging delivery and the header
04:02across the face of goal had Lucas Perry panicking somewhat
04:11sure we've got the touch there we should see from this angle it was Lucas Peraldo I think it may have
04:18grazed the head of Joao Neves first
04:26there to Tolisso
04:30Ryan Scherke what's going to follow from Mikko Tadze they have got a goal back from absolutely nowhere George Mikko Tadze
04:40he is beaten by Mikko Tadze
04:48Ryan Scherke playing his part neat footwork just rolling that ball into a bit of space the
04:53PSG defenders were all drawn towards him they forgot about Mikko Tadze
05:00it's a sixth goal in a Lyon shirt for the Georgian international
05:03signed from MESS in the summer and it's Paris Saint-Germain 2 Lyon 1
05:08Lyon
05:14cards being shown meanwhile to Hakimi
05:21Matas cross for Veretout
05:26he got a second bite at that unexpectedly and he nearly surprised Donnarumma
05:35it was Hakimi just let that ball come back off his forehead
05:38Duet setting off on the run knocked over by Jordan Veretout and it's a yellow card for the Lyon player now
05:48we've already seen a couple of incidents tonight of drop of the shoulder the slaloming run
05:55and then the lack of an end product well that's in some respects it sums up Dempele a lot of the time
06:00such a wonderful player to watch but it's not always an end product when it comes to
06:06producing goals he maybe doesn't score enough but he got the first one tonight
06:20two goals to one against Olympique Lyonnais this evening it's been an eventful game thus far
06:28PSG racing into that two goal lead Lyon pulling one back
06:31late in the first half not really offered much it must be said but
06:36it's giving them something to cling to let's see if they can
06:40man attack Lee Kang in on the right Desiree Dewey on the left
06:45Dempele back to Zaire Emery the shot is saved
06:51and a chance cheaply given away by Lyon by Lyon
06:54clearance by Niakate straight to Hakimi and Dempele setting up Warren Zaire Emery for the shot
07:03which was done by Zaire Emery it's a good ball if Hakimi can get on the end of it across the
07:08penalty box and get to the middle it's a superb goal brilliant finish by Desiree Dewey the
07:15offside flag came up immediately that will cut short the celebrations
07:20it will be checked of course by VAR
07:23that Hakimi was offside when the pass was played
07:30Nuno Mendes cutting it back to Dewey and finished with
07:34by the defender out to Warren Zaire Emery
07:41Mendes does well Lee to the side netting
07:50good play from Paris Saint-Germain excellent from Joao Neves Lee had space at the back post
07:56just unable to find the target need to do something when they get the opportunity on
08:00the break this might be it Malik Fofana in the penalty box from the angle that was a shot at
08:05least comfortable save for Gianluigi Donnarumma Fofana is an explosive young talent Lyon coach
08:12doesn't look like he's going to respond in kind
08:19missing the ball on the bounce and Dempele looking to set up Bradley Barcola
08:25he's put it wide of the far post Bradley Barcola
08:30another chance to really put his old team to the sword there that would have finished this
08:35game off once and for all but Barcola's confidence in front of goal is not quite what it was
08:40Lucas Perry made himself as big as he could
08:44well that's unlucky return to action the start of January for these clubs
08:51Ramos
08:54selfish play from Gonzalo Ramos looking to tee up Bradley Barcola's another goal
08:58Lucas Perry stops it but the follow-up is turned into the net
09:02Ramos on target and that should be that it's 3-1 to Paris Saint-Germain
09:11they have finally killed off any prospect of a Lyon in Ligue 1 for the campaign
09:20fit again after injury the Portugal striker
09:23and he was involved initially with the pass to Bradley Barcola
09:27and Lucas Perry it was an awkward one for the Brazilian goalkeeper he couldn't get
09:33two hands on it fumbled it a bit Ramos saying thank you very much
09:39challenge of Hakimi
09:53scream you could hear as he was caught by Nicolas Tagliafico and the Lyon fullback gets
09:58the yellow cards the Lyon head in the box and that is that the full-time whistle goes
10:05and it's a great victory for Paris Saint-Germain the match has come to an end 3-1 is the finalist
10:16quarter birth so PSG is keeping the lead in the Ligue 1 and this is Luis Enrique celebrating
10:26because he knew it was a very important match today
