Ligue 1: Neymar helps Paris Saint-Germain end three-match losing streak with win at Angers; Monaco slip closer to relegation

Paris: Neymar responded to being handed a three-match ban by scoring as champions Paris Saint-Germain ended their three-match losing streak away from home with a 2-1 Ligue 1 victory at Angers on Saturday. Thomas Tuchel’s PSG have seen their season fizzle out since a shock Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester United in March, losing the French Cup final and embarking on a run of just one win in seven matches. [caption id=“attachment_6616511” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Soccer Football - Ligue 1 - Angers v Paris St Germain - Stade Raymond Kopa, Angers, France - May 11, 2019 Paris St Germain’s Neymar celebrates scoring their first goal REUTERS/Stephane Mahe - RC1C95C3B090 Paris Saint-Germain’s Neymar celebrates scoring against Angers. Reuters/Stephane Mahe[/caption] The return of Neymar from a foot problem has been a plus, with the world’s most expensive player finding form ahead of his Copa America campaign with Brazil, which starts next month. The 27-year-old’s suspension for lashing out at a fan following PSG’s penalty-shootout loss to Rennes in the French Cup final comes into effect on Monday, while he will also miss three Champions League games at the start of next season for criticising the referee after the Man United defeat. But he scored his third goal in four games on his final appearance of the season to give PSG a 20th-minute lead at the Stade Raymond-Kopa, diving to head home Dani Alves’ scooped pass. And Neymar turned provider as Angel Di Maria nodded in at the back post just before the hour mark to double the visitors’ advantage. But PSG have conceded 18 goals in eight games, failing to keep a clean sheet, after Flavien Tait grabbed a late consolation for midtable Angers, tapping in the rebound after Gianluigi Buffon had saved his penalty. The French giants will now hope to ensure that the underwhelming win does not prove to be Neymar’s final match for the club, ahead of the start of the transfer window next month. “Neymar played well, but these are the things that we expect from him — that he is decisive for us, scores goals and makes assists,” said head coach Tuchel. “It’s his job, because it’s his talent.” Monaco slip back into danger Later on Saturday, Monaco’s slide back towards danger continued as a 1-0 defeat at Nimes left them only one goal above the relegation play-off place, level on points with Caen. Despite having a strong side available including Radamel Falcao, Rony Lopes and Gelson Martins, Monaco fell behind in only the ninth minute to Renaud Ripart’s flying header. Leonardo Jardim’s men plugged away, but never looked like equalising in another lifeless display as Nimes missed a hatful of second-half chances to put the game to bed. The principality club — who appeared to have surged away from the wrong end of the table after Jardim first retook the reins from Thierry Henry — are winless in seven matches, managing just three points from a possible 21. They host fellow strugglers Amiens next weekend before visiting Nice on the final day of the regular season. Elsewhere, 18th-placed Caen beat Reims 3-2 to pile the pressure on Monaco with only that single strike on goal difference now separating the two. Second-bottom Dijon poured further misery onto Falcao and company as substitute Kwon Chang-hoon scored a dramatic 94th-minute winner to snatch a 2-1 victory over Strasbourg. Dijon, in the automatic relegation zone, are now just two points behind Caen and Monaco with two games to play. Amiens sit two points clear of that pair after playing out a drab goalless stalemate with Toulouse.
