Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain suffer third defeat in last four league games as Montpellier strike late to stun champions

Paris: Montpellier veteran Souleymane Camara netted a late winner as they came from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 in Ligue 1 on Tuesday as the champions continued their stuttering end to the season.

PSG, who secured the Ligue 1 title earlier this month, remain 16 points ahead of second-placed Lille despite the latest setback. PSG and Montpellier exchanged own goals in the first half before Angel di Maria put the visitors 2-1 ahead just after the hour mark. Yet Andy Delort equalised after a quick attack launched from the back by Montpellier with 11 minutes left before a horror defensive error allowed the hosts to steal the ball and 36-year-old Camara’s shot was deflected in to win the game with time running out. Montpellier moved into fifth place, five points behind St Etienne in fourth.
