Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique on Monday urged his players to focus quickly on their Ligue 1 game against Nantes on Wednesday night and not dwell on the 2-1 defeat to Lyon.
Lyon striker Endrick thrashed the ball past the PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov in the seventh minute after collecting a pass from Afonso Moreira.
Twelve minutes later, the 19-year-old Brazilian, who is on loan from Real Madrid, returned the favour.
After a PSG corner was cleared, Endrick hooked the ball forward to release Moreira on a counter-attack.
The 21-year-old Portuguese outpaced PSG defenders Achraf Hakimi and Senny Mayulu and slotted the ball past Safanov into the net.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored for the hosts in second-half stoppage-time.
"Lyon had five shots and scored twice," said Enrique who rested several regulars such as Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos and Joao Neves for the game on Sunday night at the Parc des Princes.
"It’s brilliant for Lyon. We scored from our last shot. That’s football. You have to accept it and prepare for the next match."
On Friday night, Lens beat Toulouse 3-2 to cut PSG's lead to one point at the top of Ligue 1.
PSG will get another chance to extend that advantage when they entertain relegation-threatened Nantes in the second of nine fixtures during 27 days.

"That's the only way to deal with it. If people think that's a problem, they really don't understand what's going on at all. We've got a chance of winning two competitions

"We’re learning every day, and I hope we’ll quickly put into practice everything we need to do to make the leap from being contenders to champions."
