It was he who fired home the equaliser to get his team back into the match but two yellows in the space of just a couple of minutes saw him head off for an early bath as the minutes ticked towards PSG's first defeat of the season. But his Uruguayan strike partner levelled one minute into stoppage time with a superb 20-metre free kick, one that the Brazilian most likely would have taken had he still been on the field. Neymar's earlier strike had cancelled out Luiz Gustavo's opener before halftime but Florian Thauvin had put the home side ahead again against the run of play in the second half. Cavani's ninth league goal of the season earned them the draw that puts PSG on 26 points from 10 matches.
In the 78th minute, Clinton Njie, who came on for Konstantinos Mitroglu in the 65th, grabbed the ball from Rabiot on the right flank and Thauvin latched onto his cross to put the home side ahead. Neymar was booked in the 85th minute for dissent and two minutes later reacted angrily after being fouled, only to be shown the red card. He will miss next weekend's home game against Nice. In his absence, there was no debate about who would take the final free kick in injury time as Cavani preserved the leaders' unbeaten record.
