Some surprising results in the midweek Ligue 1 round - which will make the team happy! Lorient drew with PSG, Metz won against Lens (a double for Hein who got sent off for removing his shirt after his 2nd), and Angers drew at OM with a 96th min equaliser from Camara. Also, comebacks!...

There's a midweek round in Ligue 1! One goal so far in the early matches, a penalty for Nice (Diop) against Lille, which is definitely the pick of the first sitting. Listen to the pod to find out more! #footy-live

Early game in Ligue 1 - Lille v Metz, who are still looking for their first win of the season. Not sure they'll get it here, even with Giroud on the sidelines. #footy-live
