Paris FC continued their strong start to the season with a 2-1 win over Strasbourg on Saturday 19 September, a victory overshadowed by crowd incidents aimed at coach Liam Rosenior.
The former Chelsea defender, who managed Strasbourg last season, was subjected to abusive chants from a section of the away fans throughout the match. Tensions boiled over at the final whistle, forcing Paris FC players to pull their coach away as he attempted to remonstrate with the crowd. "I understand French, I knew what they were saying, and they went too far," Rosenior said. "It's a great city and a great club, but there were many reasons for me to celebrate the way I did."
This third consecutive league win takes Paris FC to eight points from five games, placing them sixth in Ligue 1. The team is on a five-match unbeaten run (three wins, two draws) and has the fourth-best attack in the league with eight goals scored, statistics visible in our stats section.
The third goal of the game was an 88th-minute own goal from Strasbourg defender Moustapha Mbow, providing a late consolation for his side. This solid performance confirms the positive momentum built by Rosenior, who was brought in by the Arnault family this summer. Paris FC can now focus on preparing for their trip to Brittany, aiming to preserve their unbeaten streak. Striker Lassine Sinayoko, who provided the assist for the opening goal, remains the club's top scorer this season with four goals.
