(Ligue 1 2023/2024): Highlights PSG - LOSC LILLE

Paris Saint-Germain had one eye on their midweek European clash as they hosted Lille on Saturday night. Luis Enrique rotating his starting XI with Kylian Mbappe being rested. And it was Paulo Fonseca's men who were on the front foot early on. Thiago Santos with some great work to get past Peraldo down the right before crossing it in. It fell to Yusuf Yazici who fired in from close range. The Turkish forward repaying his manager's faith after getting the nod over Jonathan David. Scoring his fourth goal of the campaign. But there was an instant response from the hosts as Dembele won the ball back high up the pitch before scoring it to Goncalo Ramos for a straightforward finish. Alexandro pushed off the ball and the PSG forwards were ruthless to punish Lille. And Ramos was once again involved minutes later, playing the ball across goal. The cross reaching Dembele on the other wing. Fabian Ruiz looking to play it into the box, but it ran all the way through and nestled into the bottom corner. Alexandro turning the cross into his own net to put PSG in front. The Brazilian defender with a nightmare start to the match. Lille were unable to contain Ousmane Dembele and the forward was doing damage on the opposite wing as well. He pulled it back for a censor on the edge of the box. But Chevalier could get his foot across to block it. And the hosts were attacking down the right again in the second half as Dembele played it long for Muguele. The fullback determined to keep the ball and drive through, but his shot was kept out by Chevalier. The goalkeeper keeping Lidog in the game so far. And PSG were in full control in the second half. Colomani combining with a censor before the Spaniard played it across goal. But there was no teammate on the end of it. Luis Enrique ringing in the changes on the hour mark as Ousmane Dembele was handed a well-deserved rest. Bradley Barkler brought on to close out the game. And the informed winger made full use of his pace against tired legs. Beating his man before crossing it for Colomani. Chevalier able to get to it first, though. And he did have chances to draw level. The substitute Adam Unas drifting past Peraldo. Pulling it back for Yezici. Trying his luck again, but it's blocked and PSG survive. But PSG were able to eventually wrap up the three points as Barkler broke through again. Squared it into the middle and this time Colomani was able to convert. The summer signing scoring his sixth goal of the campaign. Starting to find his feet after a tough start to life in the capital. And Barkler was looking to add a goal of his own before the end. Found by Ziemri before unleashing a shot. But it's kept out by Chevalier. There was a late chance for Alexandre to halve the deficit. But there was no way through for Paulo Fonseca's men. Who missed out on the chance to climb onto the podium. But it was an ideal night for PSG who rested their stars. And geared up for Champions League action in perfect fashion.
