Paris Saint-Germain extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to six points with a comfortable 3-0 win over AC Ajaccio at Stade Francois Coty.

Ajaccio carved out the first chance of the game when Mounaim El Idrissy missed a shot from a difficult angle in the fourth minute.

Ajaccio keeper Benjamin Leroy then denied Lionel Messi when he saved a deflected free-kick effort in the 13th minute.

The deadlock was broken in the 24th minute when French forward Mbappe picked up a through ball from Argentine Messi and lifted it over Leroy to give PSG the lead.

Paris then had the second goal they needed to kill the game in the 78th minute, as Mbappe fed in Messi with a superb backheeled assist inside the penalty area, and the Argentine tapped home beyond Ajaccio’s Leroy.

Christophe Galtier’s side sealed the points four minutes later, as Mbappe once again was teed up by a Messi through pass and finished low into the bottom-left corner of the net from close range to give PSG their second win in succession.
