CHAMPIONS RISE AGAIN — JOãO NEVES’ STOPPAGE-TIME GOAL LIFTS PSG HIGH
João Neves' stoppage-time header seals a dramatic 3-2 win for PSG over Lyon, reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1. Warren Zaïre-Emery and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also scored in a thrilling match that saw Lyon's Nicolás Tagliafico sent off late.

The Ligue 1 table's top spot was regained by Paris Saint-Germain, who pulled off a thrilling victory for the second consecutive weekend.
João Neves secured a 3-2 victory five minutes into stoppage time as they repeated their victory over Nice at the end of last Saturday.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles' incredible equaliser early in the second half appeared to give Lyon a point, but a dramatic finish that also saw home player Nicolás Tagliafico sent off. Lyon had twice responded from a goal down.
In addition to the points lost, Luis Enrique's team suffered additional injuries as a result of their Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich in the middle of the week.
In addition to Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes were absent from this match.
In the 26th minute, Vitinha picked out Warren Zaïre-Emery's run on the right, and the teenager blasted a shot past Dominik Greif, rewarding the visitors for their more positive start.
Lyon needed just four minutes to tie the score after that, starting a run of three goals in seven minutes.
Before defeating Lucas Chevalier, Afonso Moreira remained onside and was discovered by Moussa Niakhaté with time and space.
However, the defending champions took the lead again as soon as Lyon equalised, with Vitinha once again serving as the creator.
The Georgian star easily fired the ball into the bottom corner after he found Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the edge of the box. Lyon unsuccessfully called for a foul on Tanner Tessmann.
Before halftime, Lyon tried to respond with a goal from Tagliafico, but it took them just five minutes of the second half to tie the score.
Maitland-Niles, a former midfielder for Arsenal, saw Chevalier off his line and chipped the ball over him from well outside the area on the volley.
The game seemed to be fading away after that, with few clear-cut opportunities, but Tagliafico's second yellow card for a tackle on Vitinha in additional time reduced Lyon to 10 men.
In the final seconds, Lee Kang-in's corner found Neves for a header, giving PSG the victory and igniting wild celebrations among the visiting players and supporters.
With the win, the Parisians are now two points ahead of Marseille again, while Lyon is again seven points behind in seventh place.
MOROCCO AND PSG AWAIT HAKIMI NEWS AHEAD OF AFRICA CUP
PSG's Achraf Hakimi suffered a severe ankle injury and faces a 6-8 week lay-off. Coach Walid Regragui confirms the "leader" will be in the squad, but can Hakimi beat the clock to play in Morocco's home tournament opener?

According to Foot Mercato, 27-year-old Achraf Hakimi has set the lofty goal of being well enough to play against Comoros on December 21.
The team confirmed that the Paris Saint-Germain defender sustained a serious ankle sprain during Tuesday's loss to Bayern Munich. Although a fracture was prevented, an internal ligament injury has occurred. Although RMC Sport is aware that Hakimi would need at least six weeks and possibly two months to recuperate, the defender is eager to play in the opening match because the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is being held in his home nation.
Foot Mercato knows that this is the goal Hakimi has set for himself. Walid Regragui has addressed Hakimi's predicament, although the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan defender will not be playing during the forthcoming international break.
"We will exert every effort to ensure that he is fully prepared to face the Comoros. And he will be there even if he is unable to play. He is the leader and our greatest player," the Morocco boss declared on Friday. The PSG player will undoubtedly be a member of Morocco's squad, but it is now a race against time for him to be healthy enough to contribute to the competition.
LUIS ENRIQUE SHOWS COMPOSURE, NO URGENT PSG RECRUITMENT DESPITE INJURIES
PSG coach Luis Enrique says there is "no rush" for January signings despite injuries to Dembele, Hakimi, and Mendes. He insists the club is calm and will use the situation to give other players opportunities.

Despite the injuries to important players Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes, Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said on Saturday that there was "no pressure" to sign during the winter transfer window.
After suffering injuries during Tuesday's crushing 2-1 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich, the three will be sidelined for several weeks.
The European champions stated that Dembele, the winner of the Ballon d'Or, will require a several weeks of treatment due to a calf issue.
Mendes hurt his left knee, and Hakimi was diagnosed with a badly sprained left ankle that will keep him out for several weeks.
On Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain, the leaders of Ligue 1, will go to Lyon.
Luis Enrique stated during a press conference before the game, "We are always open to transfer opportunities, but there is no rush, no need to hurry."
The three players' absences add to an already long list of injuries, which also featured Desire Doue, who was carted off last week during a Ligue 1 match at Lorient due to a thigh issue.
The coach went on to say, "Everything has to be planned."
"They are injuries, of course, but every team has them, so there is no issue. We are not anxious; we are at ease and relaxed."
Luis Enrique continued, highlighting the favourable aspects of this "quite atypical" start to the season: "Every obstacle brings opportunity to give playing time to (other) players."
On Sunday, South Korean winger Lee Kang-in might play in his 100th PSG game.
Coach Paulo Fonseca has informed that Lyon captain Corentin Tolisso is uncertain due to a hamstring issue.
"I have my reservations, but we will see if he can play," Fonseca said at a press conference.
"Playing with him is really dangerous. For the next matches, I do not want to lose him."
Lyon's leading scorer, attacking midfielder Pavel Sulc, is also sidelined because of a hamstring issue.
At the top of the standings, PSG leads Marseille by two points, while Lyon is four points behind the leaders in sixth place.
