Emery pleased with PSG response after Barca capitulation

Head coach Unai Emery was very pleased with Paris Saint-Germain's response against Lorient.

It was a positive end to an otherwise nightmare week for Paris Saint-Germain, much to the delight of Unai Emery, who hailed his team's performance in their win at Lorient.

PSG bounced back from their humiliating Champions League exit to Barcelona with a 2-1 victory over Lorient in Ligue 1 action on Sunday.

After suffering a 6-1 second-leg capitulation on Wednesday as the French champions bowed out 6-5 on aggregate, a first-half own goal by Benjamin Jeannot and Christopher Nkunku's maiden league goal gave PSG all three points.
