Achraf Hakimi Scores Dramatic Late Winner to Maintain Winning Start || Photo: Collected
Achraf
Hakimi scored a dramatic injury-time goal as Paris St-Germain maintained their
winning start to the Ligue 1 season with victory at Metz.
Hakimi
curled into the bottom corner in the 95th minute for his second strike of the
match to make it seven straight wins for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
The
Morocco right-back had put PSG ahead after just five minutes.
Centre-back
Boubakar Kouyate headed in from a corner to bring bottom side Metz level before
half-time.
But
the hosts, reduced to 10 men in added time when captain Dylan Bronn was sent
off for a second yellow card for kicking the ball away, were unable to hold out
for a hard-earned point as Hakimi finished from Neymar's pass.
PSG
were without Lionel Messi after he sustained a knee injury in Sunday's win over
Lyon.
It
is not known if he will be fit to feature against Montpellier on Saturday - or
in Tuesday's home Champions League meeting with Manchester City.
PSG
made their dominant start count through Hakimi's opener, which was confirmed by
goalline technology after defender Matthieu Udol had blocked Mauro Icardi's
shot, but fell short of repeating his heroics.
Metz
were rewarded for their positive response as Kouyate's powerful header beat
Keylor Navas six minutes before the break, leaving PSG's perfect league record
under threat until the very last minute. (BBC)
