Paris St Germain saw their record-breaking unbeaten run in Ligue 1 ended as Lyon beat them 2-1 at Parc OL last night.

The French champions had gone 36 league games without defeat – a sequence stretching back to a 3-2 reverse at Bordeaux last March – but their hopes of an invincible season were ruined by first-half goals from Maxwel Cornet and Sergi Darder.

Lucas Moura gave PSG hope with a 51st-minute strike but the runaway Ligue 1 leaders were well below their best without injured pair Marco Verratti and Angel Di Maria, and Lyon should have won by a more handsome margin.

Lyon had already lost four times to PSG this season, including a 5-1 league thrashing at the Parc des Princes in December, but they are yet to lose at their new Parc OL home which they moved to in January.
