PSG title party delayed again after historic thumping at Lille

'We are going to be champions, but you have to lose in the right way,' said Kylian Mbappe, who had two goals ruled out for offside. 'We can't lack personality like that, and concede three, four, five goals. Losing happens, but that is not normal.' World Cup winner Mbappe had already had one goal chalked off by the officials when a comical Meunier own goal set Lille on their way after six minutes. But PSG looked set to seal the title when Juan Bernat levelled soon after and Mbappe roofed what looked like his 28th league goal of the season in the 13th minute, only to see that one also rightly disallowed. Silva left the field with a knee injury soon after and after Meunier was pulled off, Bernat was then handed a debatable straight red card in the 36th minute for a tug on Nicolas Pepe despite a VAR check. Attacker Pepe slotted home Lille's second five minutes after the break when he latched onto a superb Jonathan Ikone through ball and after that the floodgates opened. Jonathan Bamba smashed home the third 14 minutes later from another Ikone assist and two fine headers from Gabriel and Jose Fonte in the final 20 minutes completed the rout and put Lille eight points ahead of third-placed Lyon. 'Putting five past PSG doesn't happen to everyone, even if they did only have 10 men, but we played well tonight,' Pepe told Canal+. 'We've still got six matches left and we need to win at least three or four to be assured of the Champions League next season.'
