PSG managed a 3-2 win against Lyon in their Ligue 1 away clash. Achraf Hakimi bagged a brace (53', 85') while Ousmane Dembele found the back of the net yet again (59').
Despite a late fight from Lyon, they suffered a defeat at home. Ryan Cherki (83') and Corentin Tolisso (90+2') were on the scoresheet for the hosts.
Hakimi's first strike was a nice first touch finish. Dembele then scored a fantastic solo goal to make it 2-0 for the Parisians. Cherki's goal reduced the deficit for the home side. Hakimi then scored again with his first touch to round off a fine team move. Tolisso found the back of the net in injury time for Lyon, but it was only a consolation.
