RENNES: Paris Saint Germain suffered their first defeat of the season when they were beaten 2-0 at Stade Rennais on Sunday to drop their first Ligue 1 points of the season.
Rennes won thanks to goals by Gaetan Laborde and Flavian Tait each side of the interval to end PSG’s eight-game winning run in the league.
PSG, beaten in the pre-season Trophy of champions by Lille, stayed top of the standings with 24 points, six ahead of second-placed RC Lens who beat Stade de Reims 2-0 on Friday.
Rennes moved up to seventh on 12 points.
Five days after an impressive win over Manchester City in the Champions League, PSG got off to a lively start but lacked sharpness as Neymar skied a close-range attempt over the bar in the 22nd minute.
