Fans' Rating Stade de Reims 1-0 Paris Saint-Germain: Ancelotti's side suffer major upset thanks to Krychowiak strike
The Ligue 1 leaders fell to a shock defeat as the Polish international's header ensured a famous victory for the struggling side, only their second since October

Paris Saint-Germain suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to 10-man Stade de Reims to leave the Ligue 1 title race wide open again in an entertaining fixture at Stade Auguste Delaune.
After a first half full of chances at either end, the winning goal was scored by Gregorz Krychowiak, formerly of Bordeaux, as he headed in from a corner. Minutes before, the relegation strugglers were down to 10 men following Christopher Glombard's red card.
For all of PSG's enterprising efforts, they were distinctly limited up front, being frustrated by a superbly organised defence, as well as their own profligate finishing as Reims celebrated a famous win.
Following on from a week of Classique victories over arch-rivals Olympique de Marseille, the visitors aimed to continue their recent good form as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lucas Moura combined to test Kossi Agassa in the Reims' goal early on.
Hubert Fournier's men - who before this weekend had amassed only one win in 19 games in all competitions - started brightly, as Antoine Devaux forced Salvatore Sirigu into a smart save with an angled shot. Team-mate Diego Rigonato then spurned a glorious opportunity, opting to shoot wide instead of utilising other options in the box.
Carlo Ancelotti's side were at best sluggish in the opening exchanges but they were still liable for missing a couple of gilt-edged chances, though they should have been 1-0 down in the 35th minute when Anthony Weber's goal-bound shot was blocked, with Sirigu beaten amidst lax defending in the PSG box.
Seconds later, they should have been one up. The Ligue 1 leaders' signature counter-attack resulted in Ezequiel Lavezzi on a one against one situation with Agassa, but he fluffed his shot completely, directing the ball considerably wide as a furious Ancelotti watched on.
Ibrahimovic was subsequently thwarted by Agassa, with his free-kick beaten away by the Togolese international, though Gaetan Courtet wasted two brilliant chances, set up by the active Frank Signorino, as Reims went into the interval the dominating team.
Nevertheless, the Swede would have a goal wrongly chalked off for offside moments into the second half. Springing the offside trap and played onside by Mohamed Fofana, Ibrahimovic produced a fine finish to beat Agassa, before a controversial offside flag scuppered his side's advantage.
PSG's task was made a little easier after the hosts saw Christopher Glombard sent off. The midfielder, playing at right-back following Aissa Mandi's suspension, was shown a second yellow for a poor tackle on Matuidi, but that setback only sought to spur on Reims, who took a deserved lead.
From a corner, Fofana headed on towards the far post, allowing Poland international Krychowiak to head in unmarked, as Reims finally came good following a string of chances.
David Beckham then entered the field as a 64th minute susbtitute replacing Marco Verratti, but the Ligue 1 leaders failed to ignite at the other end, with further chances from Lavezzi, Matuidi and Lucas Moura all being dealt with by a resolute Reims defence as well as an inspired Agassa. And Reims could have made it 2-0 but Odair Fortes' superb run saw his goalbound shot parried by Sirigu. And despite a late surge in attacking intensity, Fournier's side held on.
