Paris Saint-Germain 4 Montpellier 0: Cavani breaks Ibrahimovic record in routine win

Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain beat Montpellier 4-0 on Saturday, with Edinson Cavani becoming their record goalscorer in the process.

Edinson Cavani became Paris Saint-Germain's record goalscorer as the Parc des Princes was treated to another goal feast in Saturday's 4-0 win over Montpellier.

Cavani had drawn level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 8-0 demolition of Dijon 10 days previously, but missed out on the record at the hands of the penalty-pinching Neymar in that game and also by dint of a wasteful outing against Guingamp in midweek.

However, the Uruguayan did not have to wait long for PSG goal number 157, converting from close range in the 11th minute to supersede Ibrahimovic in the record books.
