90+3
That's it from Paris. The hosts re-open a three point advantage at the top of the table – with Beckham’s introduction late on key to Ancelotti’s men seeing out an absorbing encounter.
90+2
Beckham had to be involved. PSG secure the win that re-opens up a three point advantage at the top of the table.
90+1
GOOOAL!! Beckham finds Ménez in the box, who finds Ibra. The big Swede forces the ball over the line from inside the six-yard box. Although that may have come off the defender. That’s the win secured.
89'
Valbuena passes up a decent crossing opportunity as he scuffs the effort and the ball drifts out for a goal kick.
87'
Valbuena finds Fanni the just outside the box but his well-struck shot is punched clear.
86'
More sloppy passing means that PSG finish under the cosh here.
85'
Fanni slings a cross into the box but Gignac’s attempt at a headed lay-off is errant and hosts clear.
83'
Ménez for Lucas.
82'
Valbuena picks up some space in the on the edge of the box but his effort swerves away from goal with Sirigu beaten - that looked like it was in but then it curled away at the last.
80'
Despite Beckham's calm head, the momentum all with the vsisitors here, though – they got a 94th minute winner last weekend.
79'
Beckham brings a sense of calm to the midfield area and a couple of switches of play relieves the pressure.
78'
The pressure is almost constant here and Gignac goes down under the challenge of Alex but the referee is not interested in that. To be fair, he was crowded out by a posse of home defenders and hit the deck.
77'
PSG are struggling to keep possession here as Beckham takes up residence in centre-mid.
76'
To slightly less fanfare, Kadir is off with Sougou on in his stead.
75'
Chantôme on for Verratti. And to quite an ovation Beckham is on for Pastore.
74'
Valbuena races on to a ball down the right and digs out a cross for Ayew bit his header is clawed out by Sirigu.
73'
Jallet wins a corner as Beckham disrobes in anticipation to come on. The corner is cleared and Fanni goes long in search of Gignac but the PSG defence clears with ease.
72'
Kadir goes down under the challenge of Maxwell inside the box but the referee is emotionless as he waves play on.
71'
Lavezzi wins a free kick down the right but Ibra’s knockdown is a loose one and the chance has gone.
70'
Valbuena draws a foul down his side’s right side but the delivery fails to beat the first man.
