PSG claimed the Ligue 1 leadership with a hard-fought win over Lyon on Monday evening, as substitute forwards Senny Mayulu and Mika Godts combined to break down their visitors' defence in the second half.
The Parisians' attacking depth proved the difference in a tightly contested match, with both replacement players making immediate impact after entering the pitch. Mayulu opened the scoring before Godts added a second to secure PSG's ascent to the league summit.
The victory underscores PSG's squad strength and tactical flexibility as the season enters its critical phase. The win leaves the capital club well-positioned in the title race, though their challengers will have opportunities to respond in coming weeks.
Lyon, despite a spirited display at the Parc des Princes, were unable to contain PSG's second-half onslaught and remain in the chase further down the standings. The result extends PSG's recent resurgence and provides momentum heading into their next fixture.
