PSG 4-0 Dijon: Mbappe, Icardi & Sarabia hand PSG easy win, Di Maria limps off

  /  R47

Paris Saint-Germain claimed a comfortable 4-0 win over Dijon in Ligue 1 on Saturday thanks to two goals from Kylian Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain cruised to a 4-0 victory over Dijon on Saturday to re-establish their 13-point lead at the top of Ligue 1.

Spain midfielder Pablo Sarabia opened the scoring early in the game as he netted his ninth goal in all competitions since the start of 2020.

Mbappe added a second after the break with a composed finish before he set up substitute Mauro Icardi at the Parc des Princes.

France international Mbappe then put the gloss on the result in injury time when he tapped in his 18th league goal of the season after Julian Draxler's initial shot had been blocked.

Match Events

3' GOAL! PSG 1-0 Dijon (Sarabia)

Sarabia gives PSG an early lead in rather fortitious circumstances. Marquinhos' shot from the edge of the box is badly mishit, but Sarabia reacts well to direct the ball away from Runarsson in the opposition net.

10' Mbappe's header over the bar

Kehrer outjumps Mendyl at the back post and directs a header on target, which Runarsson is equal to. PSG keep the attack alive and Mbappe heads Di Maria's cross over the bar from seven yards.

17' Injured Di Maria replaced by Draxler

Di Maria picked up a knock a few minutes ago and Draxler has been sent to warm up.

24' Draxler's shot stopped by Runarsson

SAVES! Runarsson is called into action again to deny Draxler as PSG turn on the style.

36' CLOSE! Cavani misses a great chance

Mbappe keeps the ball in play down the left, cuts inside and picks out Cavani with a nice cross. All PSG's leading scorer has to do it help the ball over the line from five yards out, but he sends a shot flying over the crossbar.

43' CHANCE! Mbappe's shot inches wide

Another chance comes and goes for PSG - and Mbappe in particular. The France international is picked out by Kehrer's cutback and tries to curl the ball into the top-right corner, but he instead picks out the side-netting.

60' AGAIN! Cavani misses a good chance!

Marquinhos lifts the ball over the top of the Dijon defence and Mbappe flicks it into the path of Cavani, who once again fails to find the target from inside the six-yard box. His flicked effort is wide - poor miss!

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

Mbappe is slipped in by Draxler, rounds Runarsson and tucks the ball into the net, despite the Dijon keeper getting a slight touch to it.

76' GOAL! PSG 3-0 Dijon (Icardi)

The visitors leave themselves wide open at the back and Mbappe plays in Icardi, only on the field for five minutes, to tuck past Runarsson with a composed finish. PSG are cruising to all three points.

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