Cup woe for Fournier's PSG

The pressure was increased on PSG boss Laurent Fournier with a Cup defeat.

The pressure has increased on embattled Paris Saint Germain manager Laurent Fournier as his side were sent spinning out of the Coupe de la Ligue by Toulouse.

PSG chairman Pierre Blayau has made no secret of the fact he is looking at other options and the cup exit could prove to be the final straw.

Late goals from Fode Mansare and Daniel Moreira proved to be the undoing of PSG who dominated for long periods but failed to hit the target.

Victory will be a relief to Toulouse who are struggling in the league but just two games away from a cup final appearance.

A goal 12 minutes from time by Camel Meriem took Monaco through at the expense of Lille, while it was a similar scoreline at Nancy as Moncef Zerka's goal sent Lorient packing.

Lucas Pereira's goal on 65 minutes helped Ajaccio overcome Montpellier.

Le Mans' trip to Auxerre ended in victory, although it was hard fought as they required penalties to take the tie.
