PSG 2 Les Herbiers 0: French giants complete domestic treble as goals from Giovani Lo Celso and Edinson Cavani see off plucky minnows

May 08, 2018

PSG wrapped up the domestic treble after overcoming gritty minnows Les Herbiers to win the Coup de France.

They added this piece of silverware to the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de la Ligue in what is boss Unai Emery’s last season at the club.

Giovani Lo Celso scored the opening goal for his giants against the minnows

Many might have been surprised it took PSG until the 26th minute to nudge ahead

Many will have expected the game to be done and dusted by half-time – but incredibly the third-tier team had restricted the Ligue 1 runaway champs to just a single goal.

After hitting the post twice in the first 20 minutes, it was Lo Celso who finally got his goal and the game’s opener.

Les Herbiers’ backline dropped off on the edge of the box and afforded the Argentinian space and time to shoot and he fired a left-footed effort into the back of the net.

As expected, Unai Emery’s side completely dominated possessions and shots on goal, but it was always going to be Les Herbier’s job to ‘stick in there’.
