Rennes completed a league double over Paris Saint-Germain as the runaway league leaders fell to their first Ligue 1 home defeat since April 2021.

Karl Toko Ekambi and Arnaud Kalimuendo scored for the visitors either side of half-time as PSG saw their unbeaten league run at the Parc des Princes end at 35 games.

Will Still’s Reims also saw their 19-match unbeaten run stopped by a 1-2 loss to Marseille.

They had last lost a league match in September in a 3-0 loss to Monaco.

Reims had taken the lead through Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun in the 13th minute before two first-half goals from Alexis Sanchez gave Marseille a 2-1 win with Balogun striking the post in second-half injury time.

Christophe Galtier’s PSG side are seven points clear of Marseille at the top of the table as they head towards an 11th title in 13 years.

Meanwhile, Rennes – who are just the third side to get the double over Paris St-Germain since Qatar Sports Investments bought the club in 2011 – sit fifth, four points off Monaco in fourth and seven off third-placed Lens.
