Match Events

3' GOAL! PSG 1-0 Dijon (Di Maria)

PSG score with the first action of the game! After a familiar start - in which they enjoyed possession among their defenders.

PSG broke at speed with some neat passing from Draxler, leading to a Di Maria curling shot into the far-left corner. It's a wonderful finish from outside the area and PSG lead 1-0.

4' GOAL! PSG 2-0 Dijon (Cavani)

Almost immediately from kick-off, PSG win the ball back and attack at speed, Di Maria ultimately beating his man and delivering a cross to Cavani at the far post.

There was no defender tight enough to him and the Uruguayan makes no mistake and heads the ball back across Runarsson to double the lead.

25' OFF THE POST! Mbe Soh almost scores

36' GOAL! PSG 3-0 Dijon (Mbappe)

Mbappe scores! PSG were pushing and pushing and the killer blow finally arrives!

Kurzawa delivers a teasing cross across the six-yard box and Cavani is the first to it, but he doesn't get his connection right and misses.

Dijon are too slow to clear and Mbappe is the first to the loose ball, poking it home from close range. He's vital in the build-up too, sending Kurzawa through with a clever pass.

40' CHANCE! Mbappe's shot blocked

56' GOAL! PSG 4-0 Dijon (Mbappe)

MBAPPE MAKES IT 4-0! The Frenchman has so much time and so much space to pick his shot and he decides to dink the out-rushing Runarsson in sublime style. 

What a superb finish for his second of the game and his 32nd in the league this season.

65' Di Maria comes close!

Match Report

Kylian Mbappe moved two behind Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Shoe as his brace helped Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain to a 4-0 victory over Dijon.

World Cup winner Mbappe, back from a three-match ban following his red card in the Coupe de France final, scored in either half to move onto 32 goals for the season, two adrift of Barcelona striker Messi's haul of 34 in LaLiga, ahead of their respective teams' final fixtures.

PSG passed the 90-point barrier in their final home fixture of the campaign, Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani both netting inside the opening four minutes.

Mbappe then struck either side of the interval to become the first Frenchman to score 32 league goals in a Ligue 1 season since Philippe Gondet did so for Nantes in 1965-66.
