PSG late show seals big win at Le Havre

LE HAVRE, France :French champions Paris St Germain won 4-1 at Le Havre on Friday, capitalising on a late collapse by the hosts to get their Ligue 1 season off to an excellent start.
PSG opened the scoring after three minutes when Goncalo Ramos found Lee Kang-in inside the box and he sent a left-foot shot into the net.
The visitors’ joy was short-lived, however, as Ramos was hurt in a challenge and the Portuguese international had to be replaced by Randal Kolo Muani.
The hosts shocked PSG after the break as Gautier Lloris equalised three minutes in, before Josue Casimir’s goal was disallowed following a VAR decision for handball in the build-up.
Five minutes before the end of the game, however, the Le Havre defence went missing.
Ousmane Dembele headed home five minutes from time, Bradley Barcola added a third and Kolo Muani completed the rout from the penalty spot.
PSG coach Luis Enrique was pleased with his team’s performance.
“It wasn’t easy at all,” he told reporters. “Maybe we started too calmly. We scored a goal very quickly and that relaxed us a bit too much.”
The injury to Ramos was, however, a serious blow to PSG.
“I’m not a doctor but I think it looks like a serious injury. I don’t know how many weeks he will be out,” Luis Enrique said.
