Paris Saint Germain's dream start to the season hit the skids Wednesday after a 3-2 defeat to Dijon dumped the French league leaders out of the League Cup. PSG have spent more than 85 million euros ($118m) on transfers since being bought out by Qatar Sports Investments in the summer and currently sit top of France's Ligue 1. But a few days after a 2-0 defeat of Ligue 1 new boys Dijon, the big-spending Parisians failed a repeat against the Burgundy side that would have seen them join arch-rivals Marseille in the quarter-finals of the competition. PSG started the round of 16 match in positive fashion, with goals from Jean-Christophe Bahebecq and Mevlut Erding putting Antoine Kombouare's side 2-0 up inside the first 20 minutes. However the hosts were soon back on level terms thanks to goals from former PSG player Younousse Sankhare, on the half hour with a penalty, and Florin Berenguer two minutes later. The match turned in Dijon's favour when the referee pointed to the penalty spot on the hour mark after the ball appeared to bounce off defender Zoumana Camara's arm. It looked a harsh decision for the visitors, but Brice Jovial was in no mood for charity as he stepped up to send the ball just past the outstretched glove of PSG 'keeper Nicolas Douchez. Marseille, who have had a catastrophic start to their league campaign, began their quest for an unprecedented third consecutive League Cup title with a 4-0 win at home to Ligue 2 side Lens on Tuesday.
