Joao Neves' stoppage-time header sent Paris St-Germain back to the top of Ligue 1 with an enthralling 3-2 win at Lyon.
Luis Enrique's defending champions were moments away from entering the international break second in the table, but the Portugal midfielder provided a late twist in the fifth added minute.
Lee Kang-in's corner from the left was met powerfully by the head of Neves to spark wild PSG celebrations. It came two minutes after Lyon defender Nicolas Tagliafico was sent off for a second bookable offence.
In a brilliantly entertaining first half, PSG took the lead through a sharp Warren Zaire-Emery finish in a spell where three goals were scored in eight minutes.
Lyon responded when Moussa Niakhate's long ball over the top was met by Afonso Moreira and he finished beyond PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.
Then Khvicha Kvaratskhelia capitalised on loose Lyon play and was played through on goal before slotting past Dominik Greif for his first domestic league goal this season.
In the 56th minute, Lyon's Ainsley Maitland-Niles latched on to another ball over the top - this time by former Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton - and produced a fine lob finish over Chevalier.
But Neves would have the final say with his terrific header from just inside the six-yard box as PSG took the spoils.
PSG, with 27 points from 12 games, sit two points clear of second-placed Marseille and third-placed Lens at the top of the table.
