Paris St-Germain 4-0 Dijon: Kylian Mbappe double helps PSG extend Ligue 1 lead

Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris St-Germain moved 13 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with victory over Dijon.

PSG made the perfect start when Pablo Sarabia turned home Marquinhos’ low cross after just three minutes.

Mbappe rounded Dijon goalkeeper Runar Runarsson to double the hosts’ lead before setting up Mauro Icardi to tap home PSG’s third.

The 21-year-old completed a comfortable win with a thumping finish in second-half stoppage time.

The result restores PSG’s 13-point lead over second-placed Marseille, who had narrowed the gap by beating Nimes on Friday evening.

This was PSG’s second emphatic win over Dijon in the space of three weeks, following their 6-1 victory in the quarter-finals of the French Cup on 12 February.
