PSG came back with a late triple to beat Strasbourg away in Alsace on Saturday afternoon.
Gio Reyna fired a shot at the near post which got a crucial touch off a defender to take it past Matvey Safonov in the PSG goal.
The game could have changed when Strasbourg had their big chance after the break.
Conrad Harder got up well and put in a brilliant header which Safonov saved, and Reyna lashed the follow up over. Harder had another go with 66 minutes on the clock from a tight angle, but the Russian stopper denied him again to keep it at 1-0.
Patient PSG win it late

Not long after that, everything changed. PSG got lucky with a penalty from nowhere which Ousmane Dembele missed, but with 76 minutes on the clock he swung in a great cross which Ilya Zabarnyi turned in.
With 85 minutes played, Dembele got his foot to a loose ball for his first Ligue 1 goal of the season with a nice strike from range. PSG wrapped up the win when Ferran Torres assisted Desire Doue in injury time.
