Mauro Icardi scored in late time as Paris Saint-Germain beat Lyon 2-1 on Sunday. Lionel Messi had a lively home debut for PSG, but it was his compatriot Mauro Icardi who scored in stoppage time.

For much of the game at the Parc des Princes, Messi outshone his teammates in PSG's all-star assault, but he had been hauled out by the time substitute Icardi headed in a cross from the left-right at the finish to clinch a triumph that had appeared improbable for lengthy stretches.

Lucas Paqueta put Lyon ahead in the 54th minute, but Neymar won a penalty and scored it midway through the second half to level the score at 1-1.

Messi is still without a goal for his new team, who won their sixth game in a row to keep their perfect start to the Ligue 1 season going.

They are five points clear at the top of the table, with a game in hand on Marseille.
