🇫🇷 PSG extends its top position in Ligue 1 with victory over Rennes

Paris Saint-Germain maintained their dominance in Ligue 1 after a comfortable 3-1 win over Rennes

Goalscorers: Barcola 30′, 68′, Lee 58′; Kalimuendo (PEN) 75′

The hosts saw a possible early lead ruled out as Marquinhos’ third-minute attempt at the Parc des Princes was ruled out for offside.

Bradley Barcola revived his impressive scoring streak earlier in the season by opening the scoring with a superb curling effort on the half-hour mark.

The Parisiens’ lead was almost identical after the break, thanks to a shot from Lee Kang-in from inside the box.

Just ten minutes later, Barcola added to his personal tally for Luis Enrique’s side by driving in at the far post and converting Achraf Hakimi’s low cross.

But their visitors reduced their deficit thanks to Arnaud Kalimuendo’s penalty after Lucas Beraldo handled the ball in his own penalty area.

Rennes threatened to cause a late scare when Alidu Seidu scored a second goal at the end of normal time before VAR canceled out the goal due to a foul in build-up play.

PSG is on course to finish top of France for the fifth consecutive season thanks to a better goal difference than Marseille, who face Strasbourg on Sunday.
