Half-Time Report: David Luiz, Marco Verratti aid Paris Saint-Germain fightback

Goals from David Luiz and Marco Verratti, either side of Cedric Barbosa's opener, help Paris Saint-Germain into a 2-1 half-time lead over Evian TG.

Paris Saint-Germain have come from a goal down to record a 2-1 half-time lead over Evian TG at Parc de Princes this afternoon.

Les Parisiens went into the clash with a bruised ego after suffering a shock 4-2 defeat at Bastia to plunge their bid of a third straight Ligue 1 title into further doubt.

Consequently, Laurent Blanc's side raced out of the traps in their bid for an early advantage and Thiago Silva headed Lucas's corner narrowly over the bar on three minutes.

Despite plenty of possession, the hosts toiled in the final third and the visitors took a surprise lead after 14 minutes when Cedric Barbosa's half-volley beat Salvatore Sirigu from outside the area.

PSG responded well, however, and forced opposition goalkeeper Benjamin Leroy into a string of superb saves.

First, Luiz was denied what looked a certain equaliser by the stopper, before he replicated his heroics minutes later to deny both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lucas from close range.

However, Luiz did not have to wait long to avenge his earlier miss, leaping highest to power his header past Leroy from a Lucas corner.

Barbosa missed a glorious chance to re-establish the lead by dragging a shot wide of Sirigu's post in what proved a costly miss as Marco Verratti volleyed the hosts into the lead on 38 minutes.
