Emery laments PSG's lack of cutting edge following dramatic victory over Metz

The reigning Ligue 1 champions required a last-gasp winner to pick up three points in a game that should have been out of sight

Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery lamented his side's requirement to score an injury-time winner as they won 3-2 at Metz in dramatic fashion in Ligue 1 on Tuesday.

First-half goals from Edinson Cavani and Blaise Matuidi appeared to have put PSG in cruise control as they sought a seventh straight league win, but Metz battled back in the last 12 minutes.

Substitute Yann Jouffre scored a superb free-kick and his fellow replacement Cheick Diabate equalised with two minutes to play to set up a stunning climax in which Jouffre struck the woodwork with another set-piece.
