Christopher Nkunku's second-half goal ensured Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning ways in Ligue 1 after their defeat to Barcelona.
Paris Saint-Germain recovered from their Champions League humiliation at the hands of Barcelona to beat Ligue 1's bottom club Lorient 2-1 on Sunday.
The French champions were not at their best at Stade du Moustoir with memories of their 6-1 drubbing at Camp Nou fresh in the memory, but a first-half own goal by Benjamin Jeannot and Christopher Nkunku's first Ligue 1 strike ensured a return to winning ways.
Head coach Unai Emery was given the backing of PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi in the aftermath of his side's European exit, and anything other than victory over Lorient - who have now lost five consecutive league games - would have been disastrous.
