PARIS, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News -29th Augst,2016) : Reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain suffered their first defeat under new coach Unai Emery on Sunday, going down 3-1 to a rampant Monaco at the Stade Louis II. Joao Moutinho put Monaco ahead before a Fabinho penalty doubled their lead just before half-time to leave the visitors up against it. Edinson Cavani pulled a goal back in the second half but a Serge Aurier own-goal late on secured a deserved win for the home side that lifts them level on seven points with early league leaders Guingamp. PSG lie a point behind in fifth place after seeing their perfect start to the campaign ended in the principality.
It is a defeat that will raise major questions about the capital club's strategy after a summer in which they sacked coach Laurent Blanc and lost their talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Spaniard Emery was brought in from Sevilla fresh from winning the Europa League but it was always going to be difficult to find a successor to Ibrahimovic. PSG went unbeaten through their first 27 league games last season before eventually being beaten at the end of February while in the two previous seasons they did not lose in Ligue 1 until December.
