11' GOAL! PSG 1-0 Montpellier (Cavani)

Edinson Cavani has broken the record! A lovely cross-field pass from Thiago Silva sails over the Montpellier back line and towards Neymar. 

The Brazilian brings the ball down beautiful before knocking it over to Adrien Rabiot, who sets up Cavani to fire in from close range to become PSG's all-time leading goalscorer.

40' GOAL! PSG 2-0 Montpellier (Neymar)

PENALTY! More great play by Di Maria over on the right flank results in another cross picking out Draxler, who quickly unleashes a thumping shot that smashes into the hand of the diving Mendes. It leaves the referee with no choice but to point to the spot.

There are no boos this time as Neymar calmly slots a lovely strike into the bottom left-hand corner of the net to double PSG's lead. That's his 16th goal in 16 Ligue 1 games.

70' GOAL! PSG 3-0 Montpellier (Di Maria)

Wonderful play by PSG! Pastore sends a beautiful, outside of the boot pass deep down the right flank and into the path of Meunier, who is all alone.

The Belgian heads towards the byline and cuts a wonderful pass back to Di Maria, who storms into the box and easily beats Lecomte with his first-time finish.

82' GOAL! PSG 4-0 Montpellier (Neymar)

It's another for Neymar! Di Maria impresses once again as he bursts down the right wing and into a pocket of space.

He then produces a lovely ball that picks out Cavani, whose cross-cum-shot from inside the penalty area is easily turned into the back of the net by Neymar from a few yards out.
