PARIS, Oct 16: Lorient missed the occasion to move to the top of the French league after drawing with 10-man Reims 0-0 at home on Saturday.
The Brittany side would have leapfrogged leader Paris Saint-Germain by extending its excellent run to a seventh consecutive win but could not find a breach in Reims’ solid defense.
Reims finished with just nine players after Emmanuel Agbadou received a straight red card for an horrendous tackle on Dango Ouattara in added time. The visitors were reduced to 10 at the start of the second half.
PSG and Lorient are level on points. PSG hosts Marseille on Sunday, with only three points separating those bitter rivals. (AP)
