Lionel Messi struck his first goal in French League on Saturday as PSG overcame a red card for goalkeeper Keylor Navas to defeat Nantes 3-1.

Kylian Mbappe carried on his goalscoring run with an early opener, but Randal Kolo Muani equalised for Nantes after Navas was sent off. A freak own goal by Dennis Appiah put PSG back in front before Messi wrapped up a 12th win in 14 league games this season.
