Kolo Muani snatches victory for PSG as Monaco move back into top two

PARIS - Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 2-1 on Saturday thanks to a late Randal Kolo Muani winner against Nantes, with Monaco winning to go second.

Bradley Barcola's stylish finish just before the break gave PSG the lead, but a Mostafa Mohamed header in the second half made it look as if the points would be shared in the capital.

However, Kolo Muani pounced in the six-yard box seven minutes from time to allow PSG to open up a six-point lead at the top of the table.

"I think that before an important match like Wednesday's (Borussia Dortmund), we were good right from the first minute," said PSG coach Luis Enrique.

"Nantes defended well and it was a match that allowed us to strengthen our position in the league."
