Champions Paris Saint-Germain were reduced to ten men in their season opener at Lille on Friday when midfielder Adrien Rabiot was sent off after a second yellow card.

Rabiot, 20, picked up the first on 22 minutes for a dangerous tackle on Lille midfielder Florent Balmont, and six minutes later was given his marching orders by referee Fredy Fautrel for a foul on defender Sebastian Corchia.

The Parisians are bidding for their fourth straight Ligue 1 title this season, with  Lille playing their first competitive match under new coach Herve Renard.
