Lorient, 3-1 winners over Auxerre, are three points adrift of the leaders. Lens dropped to fourth after being held to a goalless draw in Nantes. &ldquo;PSG played a great game tonight, against a difficult team which was waiting for us,&rdquo; said PSG coach Christophe Galtier.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We scored a good goal and could have scored others. We were much more balanced, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/big-loss-for-lionel-messi-as-he-misses-ballon-dor-cut-23240903" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Neymar</a> in particular gave us a balance which was really necessary. Even if we were less mobile in the second half we still had a lot of chances.&rdquo;&nbsp;PSG were imperious in the first half but did not finish off their opponent who woke up after the break with Johann Lepenant coming on in place of a tired Corentin Tolisso.
