Paris Saint-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino hailed Achraf Hakimi after his brace preserved the Ligue 1 giants’ perfect start to the season on Wednesday.
Hakimi scored a last-gasp winner as Lionel Messi-less PSG maintained their 100 per cent record in a dramatic 2-1 victory at Metz midweek.
PSG full-back Hakimi had opened the scoring in the fifth minute, only for Pochettino’s men to be pegged back by Kiki Kouyate’s 39th-minute header.
Without superstar Messi due to a knee injury, PSG looked to have run out of ideas, but Dylan Bronn’s dismissal for a second yellow card set up a thrilling finish.
Metz head coach Frederic Antonetti was sent off for his protestations and moments later Hakimi scored a 95th-minute winner as PSG made it seven victories from seven league fixtures.
