PARIS - Jeremy Pied headed home the winner and goalkeeper Jonas Lossl denied Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a decisive save in the closing stages as defending champion Paris Saint-Germain slumped to its first defeat in the French league with a 1-0 loss at Guingamp on Sunday.Leader Marseille did not take advantage of its rivals stumble as Marcelo Bielsas team also lost 1-0 at Monaco. Bernardo Silva scored the winner, preventing Marseille from extending its lead atop the standings to four points.After losing 3-1 midweek to Barcelona in Europes top-tier competition, PSG could not recover from its first major setback of the season and looked bereft of ideas against an entertaining Guingamp side.Although PSG almost opened the scoring when Edinson Cavanis volley brushed the woodwork, Guingamp was the better team and deservedly moved ahead after David Luiz fouled Pied. PSG defenders were caught napping on the resulting free kick as Younousse Sankhare was left unmarked in the box and headed the ball for Pied, who beat goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu with a diving header in the 11th minute.Im not satisfied with my teams showing. I was really disappointed by our first half especially after we warned the players about Guingamps quality on set pieces, PSG coach Laurent Blanc said. This loss embodies our struggles since the start of the league season. We were made to pay for the lack of aggressiveness I have been ruing for a while.PSG remained second in the standings one point behind Marseille. Guingamp, which has one of the smallest budgets in the league, climbed to 13th overall, four points away from the relegation zone.Guingamp, which reached the Europa League round-of-32 for the first time this week, had a good chance to double its lead soon after the interval when Claudio Beauvue forced Sirigu to parry the ball into the corner with a fine shot from the edge of the box after being picked out by Sankhare.With three minutes remaining, Ibrahimovic connected with a cross from Gregory van der Wiel but the Sweden strikers shot from close range was saved by Lossl and the PSG forward could not score from the rebound.In Monaco, Silva concluded a fine move in the 67th minute for his first goal for the club, slotting home from Anthony Martials cut-back after Yannick Ferreira Carrasco cleverly dummied the ball.It was Marseilles fourth league defeat this season while Monaco, last-years runner-up, climbed to sixth in the standings. After struggling with consistency and goals, Monaco has been forced to play catch-up with the leaders but is finally hitting form and qualified as group winner for the Champions League knockout phase midweek.When you look at others results, this is a big disappointment, Marseille keeper Steve Mandanda said. Monaco was well organized and imposed its rhythm on us. There is one more match to play next week, we need to finish on a high to go on holidays with peace of mind.Earlier, Saint-Etienne extended its unbeaten run in the league to nine games following a lacklustre 0-0 draw at Nice before Lille moved to 12th with a 3-0 win over Toulouse.After being knocked out from the Europa League, Saint-Etienne appeared tired and powerless against a well-organized Nice side that did not create many chances either.Saint-Etienne substitute Max-Alain Gradel had his teams best opportunity in the 90th minute with a shot onto the post from a tight angle.Christophe Galtiers side kept a fifth consecutive clean sheet and remained fourth in the standings but lost ground in the race for the Champions League places, now lagging three points behind bitter rival Lyon.Tempers frayed toward the end of the first half after Ismael Diomande deliberately stopped Carlos Eduardos run down the right flank, with the Brazilian responding by sending his foot into the midfielders head. Referee Lionel Jaffredo wasted little time listening to both teams arguments and sent off both players. Tim McCarver Cardinals Jersey .

To suggest the injury gives Durant an opportunity to be the starting middle linebacker sort of turns the eight-year veterans stomach. "It hurt me seriously to my core," Durant said of the left ACL injury that is likely to keep Lee out in 2014. "I just look at it as my trying to step up and fill some big shoes." Durant isnt the only option under consideration by the Cowboys, who still havent specified Lees injury or said how long they expect him to be sidelined. Fourth-round pick Anthony Hitchens wasnt far behind Durant for the start of the second week of off-season practice Monday, the same day Hitchens signed his rookie contract. And second-year player DeVonte Holloman worked off to the side, nursing a sore hamstring. If one of those three isnt at the centre of the Dallas defence in the season opener against San Francisco in about three months, it will probably be someone off the streets. The Cowboys arent in a hurry to decide. "I dont have timetables," linebackers coach Matt Eberflus said. "I really dont. Like I said, just working with whos on the grass." Durant and Holloman started the last three games of 2013 after Lee was sidelined by a neck injury. Durant made the first of those three starts before a hamstring injury sidelined him. Holloman took the last two, and had the first two sacks of his career in the season finale against Philadelphia. But Holloman hasnt made it the practice field this off-season because of a hamstring injury after the sixth-round pick missed seeven games his rookie season with a neck problem.dddddddddddd And he was drafted as an outside linebacker. "The reason hes valuable is hes got position flex," Eberflus said. "Where he fits in the lineup Im not sure yet. But hell decide that with his play." A year after coming to Dallas as a free agent who figured to be a backup, Durant finds himself by far the most experienced option to replace Lee. And that could mean a more vocal role for a guy who blended into the background his first year with the Cowboys. "Sean of course is a huge leader on our defence," said Durant, who has started 74 of 89 games in his first seven years. "Im going to be me but Im also going to step up and Im going step in and do some things sometimes." Hitchens was drafted a couple of rounds earlier than most projections, with Dallas thinking about insurance after Lee missed almost half the previous two seasons with injuries. The Cowboys didnt figure on having to cash in on that policy so quickly. "I just take it as this is my job and this is what they brought me in here for," Hitchens said. "I signed up for this. I usually dont look ahead." If hes looking ahead, coach Jason Garrett isnt saying. The coach wouldnt rule out a return in 2014 by Lee, who has missed 18 games in four seasons with hamstring, wrist, toe and neck injuries. "We feel like we have more guys to start with than we had last year at this time," Garrett said. "We want to be sure those guys get an opportunity to show us what they can do. Were also trying to find the best three linebackers." The Cowboys wont be settling on those three anytime soon. ' ' '
