Stats & Facts: A look back at the win at Lens | OneFootball

Here are the key facts and figures from the Parisians' 1-2 win away win at Lens on Saturday 18 January, on Matchday 18 of Ligue 1.

The Rouge et Bleu fight back

Paris Saint-Germain came from behind to win at Stade Bollaert-Delelis after conceding the opening goal against Lens, making it the first away win after trailing at half-time in Ligue 1 since Montpellier on 7 December 2019, more than five years ago.

The capital club have now taken 11 points from being behind in the league this season, more than any other team. On the other hand, the Sang & Or lost after scoring the first goal of the game for the first time this season in Ligue 1. The Nordistes had gone 12 games unbeaten after opening the scoring in the top flight.

Bradley Barcola and João Neves take top spots

Bradley Barcola, who scored the winner in the dying minutes, has now scored 11 Ligue 1 goals this season. The Paris winger is not only the capital club's top scorer in the league so far this season, but also the joint top scorer in the league alongside Jonathan David (Lille) and Mason Greenwood (Marseille).

Since his arrival in the capital last season, Bradley Barcola has scored at least one goal and provided at least one assist in 3 different Ligue 1 matches: no player currently in the top flight has done better over that period.

As for João Neves, who again provided the assist for Paris's second goal, making it his 7th assist of the season in the league. The Portugeuse international is top of the assist charts in the league and no other midfielder in Europe's top 5 leagues can match Neves in this respect.

The 100th for Warren

Starting on the pitch at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday evening, Warren Zaïre-Emery became the youngest player in the history of Paris Saint-Germain to reach the milestone of 100 official first-team appearances, at just 18 years, 10 months and 10 days old. The young French international surpasses Jean-Marc Pilorget (20 years, 3 months and 6 days) and Mamadou Sakho (20 years, 7 months and 3 days). Among the current Paris squad, Warren Zaïre-Emery beats Marquinhos, who reached the milestone of 100 matches for Paris at the age of 21 years, 9 months and 2 days.

Paris continues its crazy run in the league

With this latest victory in the north of France, the Rouge et Bleu have now won 11 of their last 14 away games in Ligue 1 (3 draws). Luis Enrique's men continue to break records away from home, as they are unbeaten in their last 33 away games in France, the longest run in Europe's top 5 leagues.

But it is not just away from home that Achraf Hakimi 's team-mates are impressing, as Paris have gone unbeaten in their last 19 top flight matches (15 wins, 4 draws), with their last defeat in the competition coming more than eight months ago. With 14 wins and 4 draws from 18 Ligue 1 games this season, Paris Saint-Germain remain one of just two teams unbeaten in the league over that period in Europe's top 5 leagues, alongside Juventus.
