Match Events

7' GOAL! Dijon 0-1 PSG (Marquinhos)

GOAL! 1-0 PSG! What a brilliant start! What seemed like a harmless corner turned into something far greater as Marquinhos rose the highest at the near-post to head the ball across Runarsson and into the far corner.

40' GOAL! Dijon 0-2 PSG (Mbappe)

GOAL! 2-0 PSG! That's lovely football from the away side! Di Maria shows his physicality to shrug off the defenders and retain the ball, before sending Kurzawa through on the left. He sends a simple cross across goal, Runarsson gets a slight touch to it and Mbappe is on hand to tap it in from inside the six-yard box.

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

GOAL! 3-0 PSG! That's an absolute stunner from Di Maria! Lautoa will regret giving away that free-kick! Di Maria stands over the ball and curls a fierce left-footed shot over the wall that hits the post on its way in to the top-right corner. That's a brilliant goal.

92' GOAL! Dijon 0-4 PSG (Choupo-Moting)

GOAL! 4-0 PSG! They finally have their fourth! They'd been knocking on the door and Choupo-Moting makes it four with a tap-in from inside the six-yard box, showing great awarness to get on the end of Meunier's cross.

Match Report

Paris Saint-Germain began the process of putting another Champions League collapse behind them as they eased to a 4-0 Ligue 1 win at relegation-threatened Dijon.

Thomas Tuchel's men have again been left to lick their wounds following a European disappointment after surrendering a 2-0 first-leg lead against Manchester United in the last 16, losing 3-1 at Parc des Princes last week.

Kylian Mbappe, who said he has had trouble sleeping in the aftermath of the United defeat, had a goal sandwiched by fine finishes from Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria - the latter a wonderful free-kick - as PSG moved 17 points clear of Lille at the top of the table.

Substitute Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's second league goal for the club added gloss to the scoreline in second-half injury time.
