Rabiot helps psg escape
Teenager Adrien Rabiot came off the bench to spur French title-holders Paris Saint-Germain past promoted Guingamp 2-0 on Saturday, as the midfielder netted a decisive injury-time goal at the Parc des Princes.
PSG’s stuttering start to the season appeared set to continue as the woodwork twice denied Laurent Blanc’s side, but 18-year-old Rabiot struck a minute into stoppage time before Zlatan Ibrahimovic made the points safe.
The win takes PSG to within a point of leaders Marseille, who host Monaco on Sunday.
The visitors seemed set to come away with a commendable point, but they cracked a minute into stoppage time as Samassa could only claw Alex’s header into the path of Rabiot, who stabbed home from close range for his first PSG goal.
Ibrahimovic added gloss to the score as he outmuscled Jeremy Sorbon to reach a hopeful ball forward before eluding Samassa and steering into an empty net.
