Lionel Messi dealt huge blow as Arsenal loanee denies 10-man PSG with last-gasp goal

On-loan Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun kept his cool to score a stoppage-time equaliser for Reims against Paris Saint-Germain and deny Lionel Messi and co.

Neymar had put PSG in front, beating the offside trap and then finding the corner of Yehvann Diouf's net. It stayed that way until the sixth minute of stoppage time as the league leaders - who saw Marco Verratti sent off less than 15 minutes after coming on as a substitute - looked to cling on to their narrow lead.

Moments from the end, though, Balogun raced onto a through-ball from Kamory Doumbia before rounding Gianluigi Donnarumma and hitting the back of the net. The result left PSG just three points clear at the top, with Christophe Galtier's side winning only one of their four Ligue 1 games in January.
