Paris Saint-Germain 3 Caen 0: Neymar opens Tuchel's Ligue 1 account

Thomas Tuchel's first Ligue 1 game in charge saw champions Paris Saint-Germain ease to a 3-0 home win against Caen on Sunday.

Neymar scored on his first Ligue 1 appearance since February as Paris Saint-Germain downed Caen 3-0 in Thomas Tuchel's first home game in charge.

Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe were absent – though the latter was involved in a pre-match World Cup presentation at the Parc des Princes on Sunday - but Neymar helped ensure a comfortable victory for the champions.

The Brazilian scored early, capitalising on a Brice Samba mistake to slot in a Christopher Nkunku pass, with Adrien Rabiot adding a second from Angel Di Maria's excellent assist before the break.
