PSG slump to late loss at Bordeaux; Lille's Origi hits hat trick
PARIS -- Diego Rolan scored the winner with two minutes remaining as Paris Saint-Germain slumped to a third league defeat this season on Sunday, a 3-2 loss at Bordeaux that halted the defending champions' charge for the French title.
Rolan scored from Brazilian defender Mariano's cross with a shot between the legs of goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu. The strike ended PSG's 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions, and came just four minutes after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had equalized from the penalty spot.
After ousting Chelsea from the Champions League after extra time in midweek, PSG players looked tired and lost precious points in the fight for the title. The defeat handed leader Lyon the chance to open up a four-point gap at the top of the table if it wins at third-placed Marseille later Sunday.
Chasing an unprecedented quadruple, PSG - which lost stalwart defender David Luiz and midfielder Yohan Cabaye through injury - is facing a hectic schedule in the coming weeks and still has to travel to play archrival Marseille this season.
''We came back late on Wednesday, we were tired both physically and mentally,'' PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot said. ''This is not an excuse, but it's difficult, even though we are professionals.''
Ibrahimovic scored twice at Chaban-Delmas stadium, having already put the teams level in the 50th minute from Javier Pastore's through ball after Lamine Sane jumped higher than Thiago Silva to open the scoring with a fine header to Sirigu's right.
Midfielder Wahbi Khazri then restored Bordeaux's lead from close range, pouncing on Kiese Thelin's glancing header after fluffing his first attempt on goal.
Earlier, Belgium striker Divock Origi ended a six-month scoring drought with a hat trick as Lille defeated Rennes 3-0.
Origi's goals secured a third consecutive win for Lille, which climbed to eighth in the standings, three points clear of the Brittany side.
Despite a bright opening spell, Rennes failed to convert its early chances and was then overrun by the hosts. Origi put Lille in front in the 38th minute from close range after making the most of a poor clearance from defender Fallou Diagne.
He doubled his tally from the spot in the 63rd, and then latched on to Nolan Roux's cross at the back post 10 minutes later to complete his hat trick.
Rennes should have equalized in the 49th when Ola Toivonen netted a clever lob that was incorrectly disallowed for offside.
