Result: Dijon 0-4 Paris Saint-Germain
Date: 27 February 2021
Venue: Stade Gaston Gérard
Kylian Mbappe bagged a brace as Paris Saint-Germain thumped Dijon 4-0 to reclaim second spot in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening.
With Neymar still out, Julian Draxler joined Kylian Mbappe and Kean in the PSG attack while Thilo Kehrer and Abdou Diallo were also recalled.
Moise Kean got the festivities underway on 6 minutes with a good neat finish from 6 yards out after finding on the finish Diallo's pass.
Dijon, meanwhile, struggled to get any serious attacks moving in the first 50 percent as Mauricio Pochettino's men did well to manage possession.
With thirty minutes gone, the defending league champions were awarded a penalty for a handball on Bersant Celina, which allowed Mbappe to slot home from 12 yards out.
PSG continued the dominance found in the second 50 percent, with Mbappe completing his brace 6 minutes following the break with a robust finish off that left Anthony Racioppi without chance.
While Dijon were not able to issues PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas, the hosts had the ball in the rear of the web at the different end on 74 a few minutes but Draxler's strike was flagged for offside.
The fourth goal did arrive with seven minutes left on the clock on as Danilo Pereira rattled the trunk of the web after getting on the end of Draxler's cross to nod past Racioppi.
