PSG Break Ligue 1 Record

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s stunning strike helped Paris Saint-Germain make it five straight wins in all competitions with a comfortable 3-0 victory at fourth-placed Caen.

Angel Di Maria’s 16th-minute opener and a Ibrahimovic’s first-time volley from the edge of the area handed the champions a commanding lead at the break.

Di Maria added his second early in the second half as PSG strengthened the position at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Monaco failed to make the most of their man advantage in second as they were held to a goalless draw away to bottom side Troyes, who had Mouhamadou Dabo sent off after just three minutes.

The Red and Whites now sit a massive 19 points behind leaders PSG and just one ahead of third-placed Angers, who travel to St Etienne in Sunday’s lunch-time kick-off.

Floyd Ayite netted an opener against his old club as Bastia returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Reims at Stade Armand Cesari.

Ayite broke the deadlock after 21 minutes, picking up Seko Fofana’s cross on a break and slotting into the bottom corner for his third goal of the season, while Julien Romain doubled the home side’s lead, sending Brandao’s header home with 10 minutes remaining.

Sofiane Boufal struck a late equaliser as mid-table Lille stole a point from a 1-1 draw with 10-man Toulouse at Stadium Municipal.

Wissam Ben Yedder got the hosts off to a flying start as he slotted William Matheus’s cross into the top corner from close range but they lost Tongo Doumbia to a second yellow card midway through the second half and Lille capitalised on their advantage as Sebastien Corchia set up Boufal to fire in late on.

Rennes ended a five-match winless streak in the league with a 2-0 victory at Guingamp thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembele and Giovanni Sio, while the clash between Lorient and Nantes finished goalless at Stade du Moustoir.
