The story, neutrally told

Centre · 2Paris Saint-Germain came from behind to beat Strasbourg 3-1 away in Ligue 1 on Saturday 17 October, in a matchday-seven game. Mixed · 2Strasbourg went ahead in the 17th minute through Giovanni Reyna; Arab News says he turned and beat goalkeeper Matvey Safonov low at the near post, while Anadolu describes a deflected shot. Mixed · 2Safonov made several saves to keep PSG in the game, including a low stop to deny Conrad Harder just after half-time, according to Arab News.

Mixed · 2After a VAR review, PSG were given a penalty in the 72nd minute, and Ousmane Dembélé put it wide. Mixed · 2Illia Zabarnyi equalised in the 78th minute from a Dembélé delivery. Anadolu says the cross came from a quickly taken corner, and Arab News says it was from the right. Mixed · 2Dembélé put PSG ahead five minutes from time (the 85th minute, per Anadolu), and Désiré Doué sealed the win in stoppage time from Ferran Torres' pass after Dembélé helped launch the move.

Mixed · 2Coach Luis Enrique made eight changes from the 4-2 Champions League win at Manchester City three days earlier, with Barcelona due in Paris three days later; Dembélé started on the bench and came on in the 63rd minute for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Centre · 1PSG finished with 10 men because Nuno Mendes was withdrawn with no substitutions left. Luis Enrique said Mendes felt something in his thigh and that he chose not to take a risk. Centre · 1Luis Enrique noted PSG have scored only one of four penalties this season and said the team lacks a specialist penalty-taker.

Centre · 3PSG have 14 points from seven games and Strasbourg have seven. Arab News and CNA say PSG top the table on goals scored, level with Monaco, who play Lorient on Sunday. Anadolu says PSG are second, level with leaders Monaco. Centre · 1In other results, Lille drew 1-1 at home to Brest, with Olivier Giroud equalising from the penalty spot, and Lens won 3-1 at Troyes.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.

Framing
Centre outlets lead on Dembélé making up for his penalty miss. Anadolu stresses the late comeback; CNA stresses Luis Enrique's gamble on a rotated side.
Emphasis
Luis Enrique's quotes on Mendes and penalty-taking, other Ligue 1 results (CNA), and a match narrative with minutes (Anadolu).
Leaves out or plays down
Anadolu leaves out the rotation context and Safonov's saves. CNA gives few goal details.
