Stade Reims 1 - 1 Paris Saint Germain: Reims draw preserves PSG's unbeaten start



Posted Sunday, September 20, 2015 by PA

Paris St Germain maintained their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season despite having to come from behind to claim a 1-1 draw in Reims.

Theoson Siebatcheu's 83rd-minute strike looked like handing the hosts an unlikely three points to continue their own impressive early form.

However, with the dust still settling following the celebrations, Edinson Cavani popped up to break the home crowd's hearts with a leveller just 60 seconds later.

Reigning champions PSG thought they had taken the lead within the opening 15 minutes at the Stade Auguste-Delaune but Javier Pastore's effort from Layvin Kurzawa's free-kick was chalked off for offside.

With the game seemingly petering out to a goalless draw, Siebatcheu took full advantage of some lapse defending to tap home following good work from Nicolas de Preville.

But, like true champions, Laurent Blanc's side hit back immediately when Pastore's clever ball over the top was finished off by the in-form Cavani to claim a share of the spoils for the visitors.

A draw for PSG leaves them a point clear of second-placed Rennes while Reims remain in third, having only suffered one defeat so far this season in Ligue 1.
