Paris Saint-Germain continued their winning run under Mauricio Pochettino after beating Montpellier 4-0 at the Parc des Princes.
Goals from Neymar, Mauro Icardi and a brace from Kylian Mbappé secured victory against their ten-man opponents.
Scorers: MbappĂ© 34âČ, 63âČ, Neymar 60âČ, Icardi 61âČ
Despite initially defending well, Montpellier were reduced to 10-men after 19 minutes when goalkeeper Jonas Omlin scythed down Kylian Mbappé when through on goal.
Then the floodgates opened. Mauro Icardi somehow missed from six yards out, before MbappĂ© scored his first goal of 2021 after dinking substitute âkeeper Dimitry Bertaud having been found by Ăngel di MarĂa.
Mbappé was involved again for the second after Marco Verratti played a beautiful pass in behind, before crossing for Neymar who was left with a simple tap-in.
Icardi made it 3-0 moments later with a typically composed close range finish, before the Argentine squared for MbappĂ© who couldnât miss an open goal from six yards.
Layvin Kurzawa hit the crossbar with an outrageous bicycle kick late on, as PSG cruised to their third successive Ligue 1 victory.
