Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain staged a dramatic comeback against second-bottom Amiens on Saturday, fighting back from 3-0 down to draw 4-4.

Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring for the hosts after just five minutes, and Gael Kakuta doubled their lead on the half-hour mark.

Things got worse for the stunned French champions five minutes before the break, when Fousseni Diabate made it 3-0, but Ander Herrera was able to give PSG a glimmer of hope by striking on 45 minutes.

Tanguy Kouassi scored twice in five minutes to narrow the margin in the second half, and Mauro Icardi netted with 15 minutes remaining to give PSG the lead for the first time.

But the league leaders were unable to hang on for all three points, conceding to Guirassy in added time.

The draw means PSG hold a 13-point lead over second-placed Marseille, who face Nimes on Sunday.
