Ligue 1 Wrap: Monaco, PSG draw as Lyon win

PSG opened the scoring early at the Parc des Princes through Zlatan Ibrahimovic, only for Radamel Falcao to level for the leaders later in the first half.

Ibrahimovic got in front of Danijel Subasic to meet a left-wing cross from Maxwell and poked the ball into the back of the net, but Laurent Blanc's side were dealt a blow when captain Thiago Silva limped off with a hamstring injury.

However, Blanc and his Monaco counterpart Claudio Ranieri were forced to settle for a draw that maintains both teams' unbeaten starts to the season.

Dario Cvitanich opened the scoring from the penalty spot for Calude Puel's side in the 32nd minute after Benjamin Angoua had handled, and Eric Bautheac doubled their advantage just before the break.

In Sunday's other fixture, Lorient had to come from behind on two occasions to take a point against Bordeaux as the sides shared six goals at the Stade Yves Allainmat.
