Paris St Germain ( PSG ) suffered their second defeat of the season and their first at home in Ligue 1 for 16 months as they were massively upset by underdog team Stade de Reims 2-0 on Wednesday. The win boosted Reims' tally to 11 points.

The French champions, who are at the top of the league with 15 points from seven games, looked nothing like the team who destroyed Real Madrid 3-0 in the Champions League last week, failing to prove any real attacking efficiency  at the Parc des Princes.

With Idrissa Gueye rested, Marco Verratti suspended and Marquinhos starting on the bench PSG, struggled at the Parc des Princes, especially in midfield.

Hassane Kamara headed home in the first half and Boulaye Dia doubled the tally with a bicycle kick in added time to give the visitors a deserved victory.

On the other hand, Olympique Lyon extended their dull start to the season to six games in all competitions as goals by Maxwel Cornet and Moussa Dembele were cancelled out by Yoann Court's double in a 2-2 draw at Stade Brestois.

Lille will take on Chelsea in the Champions League next week when Lyon, who are 11th in Ligue 1 on nine points, travel to RB Leipzig.
