Misfiring PSG held by Montpellier
Paris St Germain drew a blank for the first time this season as they surprisingly surrendered their 100 per cent start with a goalless draw at Montpellier.Unai Emery’s side had scored 21 times in their first six Ligue 1 fixtures and also put five past Celtic in the Champions League but their high-powered attack misfired at the Stade de la Mosson.That will inevitably draw more attention to the absence of world-record signing Neymar, who was left out of the squad with what was reportedly a minor foot injury.46' Second half underway as @KMbappe and #PSG look to break a scoreless deadlock with @MontpellierHSC #MHSCPSG #ALLEZPARIS!! pic.twitter.com/c6fyYOVqOX— PSG English (@PSG_English) September 23, 2017Neymar hit the headlines this week following an apparent disagreement with Edinson Cavani over who would take a penalty in last week’s 2-0 victory over Lyon.Cavani missed on that occasion and never really looked like getting on the score sheet against Montpellier, who had beaten PSG 3-0 in the same fixture last season.The best chance of the first half fell to Thiago Silva, but he was unable to direct his close-range header on target from Julian Draxler’s cross, while Kylian Mbappe was similarly wasteful in the second half from Thomas Meunier’s cross.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
