Ten-man Paris Saint-Germain had Brazilian Alex to thank for a late equaliser as they came from behind to draw 1-1, after compatriot Thiago Silva had been sent off. Earlier, Lyon's 3-0 win kept them in third place.

Pars Saint-Germain can wrap up their quest for the Ligue 1 title this weekend even before they play on Sunday, but Brazil defender Alex is only focused on earning three points against Valenciennes.
