PSG give up two-goal lead to draw with Brest
Paris St Germain gave up a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 at home to Brest on Sunday as the hosts missed the chance to extend their Ligue 1 lead.
Luis Enrique’s side, who finished with 10 men after Bradley Barcola was sent off in stoppage time, remained top with 44 points, six clear of second-placed Nice. Brest are third with 35 points, one ahead of AS Monaco.
“It is easy to explain, we lost control of the game. It’s football not basketball, it can happen,” Luis Enrique told Prime Video.
“There are two very different halves of the game, a great first half, one of the best of the season,” the Spaniard later told a news conference.
“Then a second half that was one of the worst of the season. Today we could have lost. We thought the game was done and it turned out not to be.”
Marco Asensio opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a close-range volley from a brilliant chipped pass from Barcola to score his first league goal since
September. Randal Kolo Muani doubled the lead by tapping in a loose ball from close range after Brest goalkeeper Marco Bizot blocked Asensio’s effort just before halftime.
Atletico beat Valencia
Samuel Lino and Memphis Depay scored a goal in each half to give Atletico Madrid a comfortable 2-0 home win over Valencia on Sunday which moved Diego Simeone’s side to third in the Laliga standings.
Atletico could have won by a larger margin if it wasn’t for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili who excelled for the visitors
