Gianluigi Donnarumma saw red in the 10th minute, the Italian coming out of his area to face a goal kick which sent Josue Casimir on goal, but his poorly timed clearance attempt hit Le Havre in the head.

Luis Enrique brought on replacement goalkeeper Arnau Tenas for his first PSG appearance in place of striker Bradley Barcola, having already been forced into a change by an injury to Fabián Ruiz minutes earlier.

PSG regained its composure and Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 23rd minute by collecting a pass from Ousmane Dembélé at the edge of the area, took a touch to control and pulled back before curling his shot off the post.

Tenas kept PSG in front with a series of fine saves as the home side piled on the pressure in the second half, including a double save from point-blank substitute Mohamed Bayo in the 58th minute.

The visitors took all three points in the 89th minute when a Vitinha shot ricocheted off Le Havre defender Gautier Lloris and the goalkeeper.

PSG’s next match will take place against Nantes on December 12.
