Jonathan David Rules Out Kylian Mbappe Penalty As Lille Snatch Late Draw With PSG

Jonathan David grabbed a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser for Lille in a 1-1 draw with Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, cancelling out Kylian Mbappe's spot-kick. PSG had appeared set to take all three points back to the capital and open up a seven-point lead at the top of the table, however the 2021 champions showed grit to earn a point and reclaim fourth place. "We played a very complete game for 80 minutes and in the last 10 minutes we lost control a little," said PSG coach Luis Enrique.

In contrast, his opposite number, Paulo Fonseca, praised his side's spirit: "We played an even match, and at the end we played a very brave 15 minutes."

Mbappe had emphatically given PSG the lead midway through the second half, his 16th goal of the season, but four minutes into additional time David popped up to snatch a last-gasp leveller.

Both sides played out an intense opening half-hour, though neither was able to work the opposition goalkeeper, with Ousmane Dembele and Edon Zhegrova dragging shots wide in promising positions.

Lille's Lucas Chevalier then had his fingertips stung by a rasping Vitinha drive on 35 minutes, following good play from the pacy Dembele down the right.

The French attacker caused trouble again from the resulting short corner as his driven cross was well cleared by Leny Yoro in the six-yard box with the goal gaping before him.

The game kept its rhythm into the second half, but PSG were offered a golden opportunity to break the deadlock just after the hour mark when Bafode Diakite lunged into the back of Lucas Hernandez inside the Lille box.

Chevalier guessed right, but France captain Mbappe's shot had too much pace and precision for the stopper to get a hand to it and prevent the Parisians
