PSG back in action after traumatic Champions League exit, thrash Dijon 4-0

Paris St Germain returned to action for the first time since their traumatic Champions League exit to crush Dijon 4-0 and extend their huge Ligue 1 advantage to 17 points on Tuesday. PSG made four changes to the starting lineup that lost 3-1 at home to Manchester United last Wednesday although Presnel Kimpembe, who conceded a last-gasp penalty via a disputed VAR decision, was retained.

If the French champions needed a gentle return to action they got their wish with struggling Dijon offering little once Marquinhos gave Thomas Tuchel's side a seventh-minute lead. Kylian Mbappe doubled their advantage shortly before halftime after good work by Angel di Maria.

Di Maria's exquisite free-kick made it 3-0 five minutes after the interval and Mbappe was denied by the woodwork before Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting rounded off a comfortable night's work with PSG's fourth goal in stoppage time. PSG have 74 points from 27 games with second-placed Lille on 57 from 28.
