Paris Saint-Germain go top with draw at nine-man Montpellier

PSG go top of the Ligue 1 table on goal difference thanks to a 1-1 draw at champions Montpellier.

Paris Saint-Germain have moved to the top of the Ligue 1 table on goal difference thanks to a 1-1 draw at champions Montpellier.

The home side were reduced to 10 men after only 10 minutes as Mamadou Sakho was judged to have been the last man when he pulled back Gaetan Charbonnier.

PSG made their numerical advantage count on 37 minutes when Maxwell's cheeky finish from inside the area went in off the crossbar.

However, Remy Cabella picked up a loose ball on the hour to fire home and get Montpellier level.

There was another red card for the hosts five minutes later when Younes Belhanda picked up his second booking of the night for a deliberate handball.

Despite playing against nine men for the final 25 minutes, Carlo Ancelotti's side failed to find a winner.
