The 23-year-old's first-half header was enough to separate the two sides at Stade Oceane, but Desire Doue missed a penalty late on for the visitors as they created some breathing room between themselves and Lens at the top of the table.

PSG was dominant from the very first whistle, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia seeing an effort cleared off the line inside two minutes before Achraf Hakimi also struck the left post with an effort from range.

Lee Kang-in grew in influence for Luis Enrique's side, forcing a save from Mory Diaw before picking out Barcola with a pinpoint cross in the 37th minute, and the latter managed to divert his header past the goalkeeper.

Lee then fired way wide of the post before Dro Fernandez saw a goal ruled out for offside against Hakimi shortly before the break, while Kvaratskhelia struck the base of the right post early in the second half after Le Havre squandered possession on the edge of their own box.

Doue then had the chance to put the match beyond doubt when he was fouled by Lucas Gourna-Douath in the box, but the PSG youngster saw his penalty saved by Diaw, with the goalkeeper making a strong save to his right.
