Parisian delight as capital clubs head Ligue 1 standings

Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC occupy the top two places in Ligue 1 after both won 1-0 on Saturday. PSG’s position is familiar, but Paris FC’s rise is notable: the club is only in its second season in the top flight, bringing two Parisian teams to the league’s summit.

PSG have 23 points and an 11-match winning streak across all competitions after Ilya Zabarnyi scored against Troyes before half-time. Paris FC have 20 points from 10 games; Lassine Sinayoko scored his ninth league goal in a fortunate 63rd-minute winner at former club Auxerre. Paris FC moved its home ground across the street from PSG’s Parc des Princes and finished 11th last season.
