Neymar shines but PSG held by Monaco in thriller

The Brazilian gave PSG the lead after just two minutes at the Parc des Princes but Monaco scored two quick goals through Gelson Martins and Wissam Ben Yedder to move 2-1 ahead inside quarter of an hour.

A Fode Ballo-Touré own goal brought PSG level and Neymar restored their advantage from the penalty spot before half-time after a foul on Kylian Mbappé.

But Monaco, who also host PSG on Wednesday in a rearranged fixture, earned a point when Islam Slimani's goal was controversially awarded after it was initially ruled out for offside.

"We didn't put in our best performance but we tried. It was a good test. Monaco have a good team but we are superior and we must show it on the pitch," Neymar told Canal+.
