Kylian Mbappe was on target twice as PSG beat Nantes 3-0 on Saturday night to leapfrog Marseille and go top of Ligue 1.
Nuno Mendes was also on target for the visitors in the second half, as Nantes found themselves down to ten men after 24 minutes.
Samuel Moutoussamy’s strike from outside of the box missed by inches, before Fabio stabbed a close-range effort over minutes later.
That would be Fabio’s last involvement, as he was sent packing midway through the first half after he dived into a challenge on Vitinha with his studs up and leg off the floor.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Mbappe doubled PSG’s lead with a simple close-range finish from the edge of the six-yard box.
PSG stretched their lead to three when Mendes pounced on a loose ball that had crashed off the post, courtesy of a poor Neymar effort from a few yards out.
The victory for PSG means they are now six games undefeated in Ligue 1, with five wins and a draw.
