Paris St Germain missed their third opportunity to seal their eighth Ligue 1 title when their much-changed side were beaten 3-2 at strugglers Nantes in Nantes, France, on Wednesday.
Victory would have put PSG out of reach at the top of the standings with six games left, but Dani Alves's opener was canceled out by Diego Carlos before Majeed Waris and an own goal by Alves gave the Canaries all three points at La Beaujoire.
PSG's Metehan Guclu reduced the arrears a minute from fulltime in his maiden Ligue 1 appearance.
It was an embarrassing performance from runaway leaders PSG, who have 81 points from 32 games and lead second-placed Lille by 17 points.
The result lifted Nantes up to 14th on 37 points, 12 above the relegation zone.

PSG were without the injured Neymar, Edinson Cavani, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Thomas Meunier, a situation that led the German coach to complain about the lack of depth of his squad last weekend.
Marco Verratti and Juan Bernat were suspended while Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria were rested ahead of Sunday's league game against Monaco and the April 27 French Cup final against Stade Rennes.
Thomas Tuchel's side, who have now picked up only one point from their last three Ligue 1 outings, will be crowned champions on Sunday if they beat Monaco at home.
