Match Report
Paris Saint-Germain needed extra-time to see off third-tier minnows Villefranche in the last-16 of the Coupe de France as Julian Draxler and Edinson Cavani inspired a 3-0 win.
Thomas Tuchel, who watched the conclusion from the stands after being sent off, selected a strong line-up for the tie, which was moved to Lyon's Groupama Stadium.
But the former Borussia Dortmund boss merely witnessed further struggles on his return to the scene of PSG's 2-1 weekend loss in Ligue 1.
Kylian Mbappe and Cavani were pressed into action from the bench and the Uruguay star set up Draxler in the 102nd minute.
Moussa Diaby then enjoyed a similarly simple finish and Cavani got in on the act himself in the final seconds.
