Jean-Michel Aulas criticises the refereeing following Lyon's game against PSG.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has slammed the referee's performance following his side's 4-4 tie with Paris Saint-Germain.

The visitors came from 4-2 down to salvage a point in the final seconds at the Stade de Gerland, but Aulas insists that the match officials gave decisions in favour of the Parisian outfit throughout the night.

"Just because there's been lots of investment at PSG, doesn't mean the decisions should all go in the same direction," he told L'Equipe.

"We tried hitting back, but there have been incidents in the first and second half. How can there have been four minutes of stoppage time? I am disappointed as president.

"The match must be officiated in an objective manner, but it has not been. Their third goal had a Lyon player fouled in the build up, for example. It's a shame."

Carlo Ancelotti's side have slipped to second place in Ligue 1 following the result.
