Ligue 1
Neymar, Cavani Star in PSG Win
Paris Saint-Germain maintained their perfect start to the Ligue 1 season as Edinson Cavani’s brace and a Neymar penalty helped them to a 4-1 win over Reims at the Parc des Princes.
Thomas Tuchel’s side bounced back in style to open up an eight-point lead over Lyon at the summit, having seen Xavier Chavalerin give the visitors a shock second-minute lead on Wednesday.
Cavani scored either side of a Neymar penalty – his first a stunning chip – to give the reigning champions a commanding half-time lead in front of NBA legend Michael Jordan.
PSG looked destined for three points in the second period with wave after wave of attacks, but they added just one more goal from substitute Thomas Meunier in a seventh straight domestic triumph.
