PSG suffer late heartbreak in home draw

AFP, PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain conceded an injury-time equaliser as they warmed up for their Champions League clash next week against Arsenal with a disappointing 1-1 home draw with Saint-Etienne on Friday.
The big-spending Parisians looked set to top Ligue 1 thanks to a second-half Lucas penalty, but Robert Beric popped up in the second minute of added-on time to somehow eke out an unlikely point for the visitors.
“Am I angry?” said new PSG coach Unai Emery. “No... The result is hard to accept but I have to keep a cool head. I have nothing to reproach the players for tonight.
“I am the coach and I am the one responsible,” added Emery, whose side were well beaten 3-1 at Monaco in their last game and lie third after four matches.
The French champions gave a first start this season to international midfielder Blaise Matuidi after the former Saint-Etienne player saw a proposed transfer to Italian champions Juventus fall through.
