Rosenior guides Paris FC past old club Strasbourg despite hecklers

In a match marred by abusive chants, Paris FC secured a 2-1 victory over Strasbourg in the Ligue 1 on Saturday. The game was halted midway as Liam Rosenior, the English coach, faced taunts from visiting fans. Rosenior, who joined Paris FC from Chelsea last year, expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that the provocation came from a small section of the away supporters who had never shown him support before.

Despite conceding an own goal in the match's final moments, Paris FC extended their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season, adding their third win to their two draws this season. Strasbourg, on the other hand, missed a chance to join table-toppers Monaco on 13 points, falling to a 4-0 defeat against Lyon in another intense match of the day.

Lyon climbed to second place after dominating the match, with Ghana striker Ernest Nuamah scoring a first-half brace, and Swiss defender Zachary Athekame adding a fourth goal late on. Elsewhere, promoted side Le Mans secured their first victory of the season with a 2-1 win over Lorient, while defending champions Paris Saint-Germain currently sit at the bottom of the table with just five points from their opening four games, facing a crucial match against bitter rivals Marseille the following day.
