Luis Enrique's men return to winning ways in Ligue after last week's defeat to Terem Moffi's Nice.

Paris Saint-Germain showed they could be independent of Kylian Mbappe as they blew past their biggest rivals Marseille 4-0 in Le Classique.

Luis Enrique's men bounced back from last week's defeat to Nice, brushing aside the challenge of Jacques Abardonado's men at the Parc des Princes.

How it happened 

Paris Saint-Germain started like a house on fire and got the lead as early as the eighth minute of the game from a brilliantly taken free-kick from Achraf Hakimi. Marseille came close to pulling level, but Vitinha skied his header from close range.

The hosts suffered a major casualty in the 38th minute, as talisman Kylian Mbappe sustained an injury. The forward was consequently replaced by Portugal international Goncalo Ramos.

The hosts made it two five minutes after the incident when Randal Kolo Muani reacted quickest to a rebound to fire into an unguarded net.

Substitute Ramos proved his worth as a big-money signing, furthering PSG’s lead upon returning from the break; his diving header connected with an Ousmane Dembele cross to beat Pau Lopez.

The Portugal international got his brace in the 89th minute of the match, combining with strike partner Kolo Muani to give PSG a 4-0 win, completing a famous victory.
