Mbappé fails to score as PSG draws 0-0 at Clermont. Monaco is new leader after beating Marseille 3-2
SMA NEWS – PARIS
Star striker Kylian Mbappé was kept quiet and Paris Saint-Germain could not find a way to score in a 0-0 draw at struggling Clermont in the French league on Saturday.
Monaco took advantage of PSG’s slip to go top after beating Marseille 3-2, with midfielder Maghnes Akliouche scoring twice and setting up the other goal.
Mbappé shook off a minor injury to his left ankle sustained in last Sunday’s 4-0 home win against Marseille and started. He received a yellow card for diving in an attempt to win a penalty in the 80th minute, but could not add to his league-leading seven goals.
Third-place PSG has won only three of its seven league games under new coach Luis Enrique, drawing three and losing one.
PSG is two points behind Monaco. Fourth-place Nice hosts second-place Brest on Sunday and a win for either side would guarantee first place.
