PSG keeper gets support of coach after blunder gifts Lyon draw

PSG coach Antoine Kombouaré has refused to slam keeper Apoula Edel following his blunder against Lyon.

Kombouaré's side missed the chance to go to the top of Ligue 1 after Edel's blunder with three minutes to go at Stade Gerland.

Bafetimbi Gomis seized on a poor clearance from Edel in the PSG goal, and slotted in a late equaliser.

Earlier, Lyon took the lead through Aly Cissokho in the 54th minute before Nene then levelled for PSG, with Guillaume Hoarau putting them 2-1 ahead from the spot after Cissokho had been sent off.

Nothing against

Komouare has offered his support to his keeper, saying: "I have nothing against Edel, I even have a thought for him.

"He is the most disappointed because his mistake cost us the win. Now we will support him and it will be up to him to erase that mistake.

"There is a lot of frustration, because we showed big mental strength and a lot of technical qualities too."
