Strasbourg 3-3 Paris Saint-Germain: Last-gasp Caci equalizer frustrates champions
Paris Saint-Germain looked destined to win after Kylian Mbappe's double but Strasbourg fought back to secure an impressive point.
Anthony Caci scored a last-gasp equalizer as Strasbourg came from behind to hold Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain to a 3-3 draw at Stade de la Meinau.
Former PSG striker Kevin Gameiro gave Champions League-chasing Strasbourg a second-minute lead, but Kylian Mbappe put the visitors in control with a double and an assist for Achraf Hakimi.
Strasbourg refused to give up and Marco Verratti's own goal with 15 minutes remaining gave them hope of salvaging a point to boost their top-four aspirations.
They got it when Caci volleyed home a deep cross from Dimitri Lienard in the 92nd minute, keeping the pressure on PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino despite clinching the title last weekend.
