Striker sold by Sporting for peanuts scores against PSG (Video) | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain is once again the leader of the French championship. This Sunday, November 9th, the Parisian team defeated Lyon 3-2 at the Groupama Stadium, in the 12th round of the competition. Afonso Moreira, a former Sporting player - who has been in great form -, scored for Paulo Fonseca's team.

The visiting team took the lead in the 26th minute through Warren Zaire-Emery, found behind the Lyon defense with a pass from Vitinha. In response, Afonso Moreira equalized (30'), showing composure in front of Lucas Chevalier, but the French champion regained the lead in the 33rd minute, through Kvaratskhelia.

The second half opened with another goal, with a lob from Maitland-Niles over the PSG goalkeeper for 2-2. The Parisians sealed the victory with a goal from João Neves, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, following Tagliafico's expulsion from Lyon.

With the victory, PSG returns to the top of the French championship, which was held by Marseille after Saturday's results. PSG has 27 points in 12 games. Lyon, led by Paulo Fonseca, is in sixth place with 20 points and the same number of games.

It's worth remembering that Afonso Moreira became a two-time national champion with Sporting and participated in winning the last edition of the Portuguese Cup. Last season, he was an option in three official matches, but always as a used substitute. He left for France in the summer for 2 million euros.
