Bradley Barcola's 14th league goal of the season proved academic for the much-changed visitors at Stade de la Meinau, where the hosts held on to climb to fourth place with two games remaining.

Liam Rosenior's side, which is unbeaten in 11 games, broke the deadlock in the 20th minute when Mamadou Sarr's header from an inswinging corner deflected in off Lucas Hernandez.

Strasbourg doubled its lead in first-half stoppage-time when Felix Lemarechal brilliantly curled into the top corner beyond a helpless Matvey Safonov.

PSG replied within 44 seconds of the restart, with Barcola bursting away down the left flank before beating Djordje Petrovic to halve the deficit.

The Ligue 1 champion pushed for a late equaliser.

Goncalo Ramos headed wide from close range, while the forward was also brilliantly denied by Petrovic in stoppage time, as the hosts held on for all three points.
