Ligue 1: Neymar carried off with suspected serious injury in PSG defeat to Lyon

Lyon scored a big success in the Ligue 1 title race as they claimed a 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain, who lost Neymar to an ankle injury.

Neymar suffered what appeared to be a serious ankle injury as Paris Saint-Germain slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Lyon in Ligue 1.

PSG, who started with Kylian Mbappe on the bench, are firmly in a title tussle this term, and Thomas Tuchel’s side suffered their fourth league defeat of the campaign – and a first home loss to Lyon in Ligue 1 since 2007 – at a wet Parc des Princes.

Tino Kadewere got the only goal, putting Lyon ahead after Karl Toko Ekambi pounced on Presnel Kimpembe’s error.

A lacklustre display was compounded in the final minute of stoppage time, Neymar going off in clear pain after injuring his left ankle due to a challenge from Thiago Mendes, who was sent off after a VAR review.

Lyon have 3 different players at 5+ goals in Ligue 1 this season (Toko Ekambi, Depay, Kadewere), more than any side in the Top 5 European leagues in 2020/21.
