Ligue 1, Matchday 10

Paris FC 3-3 Olympique Lyonnais

Goals: Tolisso, Sulc 2x (L), Camara, Kebbal, Marchetti

Arsenal flop Ainsley Maitland-Niles had a face like thunder at the end of the game.

The reason? His Lyon side cocked up a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Paris FC under the watchful eye of club minority shareholder and Red Bull global head of sport Jürgen Klopp in the stands.

With French football high society in the shape of Emmanuel Petit and Frank Leboeuf in the stands at Stade Jean Bouin, AMN and his Lyon side suffered an apocalyptic late second period.

Yet it all started so well after skipper Correntin Tolisso made finishing look easy one-on-one with the goalie after five minutes when he slotted home.

And Czech Republic star Pavel Sulc located the onion bag twice within seven second-half minutes courtesy of a tap-in and a sensational chipped effort after racing clear in behind.

Yet just when Lyon looked to have sailed into clear waters and level with PSG at the top of Ligue 1, Abner Vinicius left his side a many shy after a red card was brandished to him.

That gave the hosts renewed hope as Camara pulled one back with a well-executed volley.

Not even Thibault De Smet's sending off discouraged the Parisians as a sweet dipping curler by Ilan Kebbal and Vincent Marchetti's long-ranger gave them a precious point in their fight against the drop.

Suspect defensively and non-existent going forward, Hale End academy graduate Maitland-Niles certainly played a big part in his side's downfall.

Looking glum and out of sorts, he turned down an interview request by Capital Football in the mixed zone after the game!
