Paris St-Germain’s latest Ligue 1 win ended in controversy as the referee aimed a kick at a Nantes player after they collided – then sent him off.<\/p>\n

Nantes finished the game with 10 men as defender Diego Carlos was shown a second yellow card in injury time after the incident with referee Tony Chapron.<\/p>\n

Nantes chairman Waldemar Kita said Chapron should be banned for six months for the “scandalous” decision.<\/p>\n

But he added: “I do not want to believe he did it on purpose.”<\/p>\n

‘It’s a joke’<\/strong><\/p>\n

As PSG broke into the Nantes penalty area, Carlos clipped Chapron’s heels in what appeared to be an accident.<\/p>\n

Chapron kicked out at the player, then booked him, apparently for dissent.<\/p>\n

“It’s a joke,”\u00a0Kita told French TV.<\/i>\u00a0“I received 20 text messages from all over the world telling me that this referee is a joke.<\/p>\n

“If I talk too much, I will be summoned by an ethics commission. We have no right to say anything.”<\/p>\n

PSG won their first match back after the winter break with Angel di Maria scoring the only goal of the game after 12 minutes at Stade de la Beaujoire.<\/p>\n

The win – achieved despite the absence of \u00a3200m signing Neymar – took them 11 points clear at the top of Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

Nantes manager Claudio Ranieri: “The worst thing is that Diego Carlos will have a minimum one-match suspension. It was a good game for us if we forget the goal ruled out for offside and what happened with Diego Carlos.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Di Maria could have added a second before half-time but missed an open goal, while Nantes’ Emiliano Sala had a goal ruled out for offside on the hour mark.<\/p>\n

Neymar missed the game having scored in the midweek Coupe de la Ligue victory over Amiens, with coach Unai Emery suggesting he had a fitness problem.<\/p>\n

PSG took advantage of second-placed Monaco being held to a goalless draw in Montpellier on Saturday to extend their advantage at the top.<\/p>\n

Lyon moved level on points with Monaco as they drew 1-1 draw at home to Angers.<\/p>\n
