PARIS (AP) — French league leader Paris Saint-Germain has made it seven straight wins but needed another injury-time winner to beat last-place Metz 2-1 in an unconvincing performance. The referee was about to blow the final whistle when right back Achraf Hakimi netted his second goal in the fifth minute of injury time with a curling shot past goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja. PSG is seven points ahead of second-place Marseille, which remains unbeaten after drawing 0-0 at third-place Angers. Earlier, defending champion Lille got back to winning ways by beating Reims 2-1 to take pressure off coach Jocelyn Gourvennec.
