\nSTRASBOURG:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kylian Mbappe had a penalty brilliantly saved but was gifted the opening goal as champions Paris Saint-Germain edged energetic Strasbourg 2-1 away in Ligue 1 on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PSG <\/a>now have 47 points from 20 games with second placed Nice taking on third placed Brest Sunday on 38 and 35 points respectively.<\/p>\n

“They pressed us high, we weren’t always precise enough, but we had a good match against an opponent who had a good dynamic and nothing to lose,” said PSG coach Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n

Patrick Vieira’s Alsace club flew out of the blocks and Gianluigi Donnarumma stopped a shot with his shoulder inside the first minute.<\/p>\n

And on his Ligue 1 debut for Strasbourg 22-year-old goalkeeper Alaa Bellaarouch saved Mbappe’s well-struck penalty in the fifth minute to leave the superstar striker holding his head.<\/p>\n

Mbappe<\/a> however took his 20th league goal of the campaign slamming the ball into a gaping goal after a panicked clearance from the rookie ‘keeper.<\/p>\n

Mbappe then turned provider early in the second half with a deft centre clinically finished by Marco Asensio.<\/p>\n

A youthful Strasbourg struck back when a cross found Dilane Bakwa alone at the far post and the 21-year-old forward’s cool flick left Donnarumma no chance.<\/p>\n

Bakwa blazed a shot over the bar from a similar position ten minutes from time with PSG coach Luis Enrique looking concerned from the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Former France captain Vieira revealed his “frustration” and was booked for arguing with the referee.<\/p>\n

“But I’m satisfied with the performance, we gave them a lot of problems, we played with character,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We created some interesting situations but we narrowly missed the few chances we had.”<\/p>\n

There was no repeat of PSG blowing a two-goal lead in their home draw with Brest last Sunday, despite the home fans urging their side on in a noisy Stade de la Meinau.<\/p>\n

Strasbourg sit mid-table with 25 points from 20 games after a match in which the visitors eventually dominated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
