December 23, 2021 Icardi Salvages Late Point For PSG As Sergio Ramos Gets Sent Off In Second Appearance

Mauro Icardi salvaged a point for 10-man Paris St-Germain against Lorient, away from home.

Icardi scored in injury time for the Ligue 1 leaders, heading in a dinked cross from the byline by Achraf Hakimi, only minutes after Sergio Ramos was handed his marching orders for a second bookable offence.

Lorient, who are currently 19th in the table, took the lead five minutes before halftime when Thomas Monconduit's strike deflected in off the crossbar.

Angel Di Maria had previously squandered a decent opportunity early in the second half by firing from over eight yards. Argentina striker Lionel Messi also had a shot stopped by Nardi, with the forward firing another attempt just wide.

Ramos was sent off for the 27th time in his career in only his second game for PSG after signing on a free transfer in the summer after his Real Madrid contract expired.

He was introduced as a substitute at the start of the second half, but was immediately booked for a high boot in the 81st minute, and then received his second yellow card five minutes later for intentionally obstructing Terem Moffi as he attempted to charge towards goal.

Mauricio Pochettino's PSG have only lost five of their 19 league games this season, and they are 13 points ahead of Nice in second place.
