We need to continue playing like this. Its great.It has been some turnaround for Toulouse, which was anchored to the bottom of the table last season before Dupraz came in and saved the club.Toulouse stayed up after winning 3-2 on the final day of last season, whereas PSG coasted to a fourth straight title by 31 points.Midfielder Yann Bodiger, who scored the winner that kept Toulouse up, netted from the penalty spot in the 48th minute after PSG right back Serge Aurier was sent off for hauling back Sweden forward Ola Toivonen.ddddddddddddurier had been shown a yellow card for an earlier infringement on 17-year-old goalkeeper Alban Lafont, who made two brilliant saves from striker Edinson Cavani in the first half and denied winger Angel Di Maria after the break.With just over 10 minutes remaining, PSG midfielder Thiago Motta -- lucky not to be sent off after shoving an opponent to the ground moments earlier -- made a terrible mistake as his back pass landed straight to Sweden midfielder Jimmy Durmaz, who advanced to goal and slotted into the bottom corner.PSGs defeat was more significant due to the large number of young players in the Toulouse side.Not least Lafont, whose remarkable point-blank save from Cavani in the first left the Uruguay striker shaking his head in disbelief.This season might be more difficult, said PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi, who made it clear he wanted to leave the club during the summer transfer window. But its a long season and we will see what happens in the future.PSG dropped to third place ahead of this weekends matches, one point behind Toulouse and leader Nice, which has played a game less.
