Faltering PSG held at home by Bordeaux

PSG are level with Montpellier on 60 points from 29 games but the unfashionable southern side, who reclaimed top spot on Saturday thanks to a last-gasp 1-0 win over Saint-Etienne, lead on goal difference.

Visitors Bordeaux took the lead on 77 minutes when Nicolas Maurice-Belay set up Cheick Diabate who scored into an empty net but Guillaume Horau equalised for the hosts four minutes later with a powerful shot from a superb Mathieu Bodmer heel-pass.

"Obviously, it was not a good game. We struggled to develop our moves, we had to react once again," PSG football director Leonardo told French television Canal+.

"This game had been exhausting because we did not have the control. You suffer when you trail your opponent on the scoreboard," he added.
