PSG miss out on Ligue 1 top spot

The result left PSG in second place with 37 points from 18 games, behind Montpellier on goal difference after the leaders drew 1-1 at home with Toulouse on Saturday.

"Lille are a very solid team and they're tough to play," PSG keeper Salvatore Sirigu told reporters.

"But we put up a good defensive display in tough conditions and we're still level with Montpellier so that's a good thing."

"It's a good point but we can be a bit frustrated because we played much better in the second half. However, our defence is very strong and we're still in the [title] race," Lille coach Rudi Garcia said.

Antoine Kombouare's side came close five minutes later when Javier Pastore crossed to Kevin Gameiro, whose right-footed attempt went just wide.

Lille had the best chance in the 77th minute when Idrissa Gueye's powerful shot was punched clear by Sirigu with Rudi Garcia's team dominating possession.
