LIGUE 1 Moses Simon stars as Nantes shock PSG to go 5th

Moses was the most creative player on the pitch against Paris Saint-Germain Super Eagles winger Moses Simon put on a show as Nantes defeated Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 on Saturday night.

Nantes took a shock lead in the fourth minute when Randal Kolo Muani latched on to a superb pass from Simon to put them ahead as early as the 4th minute.

Quentin Merlin doubled the lead eight minutes later with a stunning left-footed strike before Ludovic Blas made it 3-0 at the break from the spot after VAR awarded the home side a penalty.

Neymar pulled one back after the break for PSG but it was nothing but a consolation after he missed a chance to make it 3-2 from the spot just before the hour mark.

Nantes held on for a crucial win, a third league win in a row.

A creative masterclass from Simon against a star-studded PSG side with Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar on the pitch to help Nantes pick all three points at home to move closer to a European spot.
The 24-year-old created five scoring chances, which included one for the opening goal of the game scored by Randal Kolo Muani and made four key passes.
