PSG achieve perfect 10 by thrashing Amiens
Paris Saint-Germain continued the blistering start to their Ligue 1 title defence with a record-extending 10th straight win as Kylian Mbappe scored in a 5-0 thrashing of Amiens on Saturday.
Coach Thomas Tuchel left key men Neymar, Thiago Silva and Thomas Meunier out of the squad altogether at the Parc des Princes with Wednesday's Champions League clash with Napoli in mind, but PSG had more than enough to see off Amiens.
Brazilian centre-back Marquinhos nodded the hosts into a 12th-minute lead and Adrien Rabiot made it two shortly before half-time.
Germany winger Julian Draxler grabbed the third headed goal of the game, and the 19-year-old Mbappe fired in late on to score his ninth goal in just six league matches this season.
It was a horrid mismatch with Amiens totally outclassed, and teenager Moussa Diaby came off the bench to complete the rout as the capital-city giants stretched their commanding lead at the top of the table to 11 points.
Diaby, 19, was given the freedom of the visitors' area to stroll through the middle and slot in PSG's third goal in seven minutes and round off the most comfortable of victories.
Later on Saturday, Thierry Henry takes charge of freefalling Monaco for the first time at Strasbourg, while second-placed Lille visit Dijon.
