PSG, with 38 points from 14 games, restored its five-point cushion over second-placed Lens while Lorient remained fourth, level on 27 points with Rennes.
Moffi was inches away from putting Lorient ahead but his shot struck the crossbar and the host weathered an intense period of pressure from PSG before Danilo powered his header from Neymarโs corner past Mannone in the 81st minute. Lorientโs top-scorer Moffi made amends nine minutes into the second half after being set up by Enzo Le Feeโs through ball, rifling his shot over PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for his ninth league goal of the season. At the other end, Moffi sliced his shot wide of the near post after a quick counter-attack as Lorient pushed for an equaliser before the break but it struggled in the final third.
