The title holders shut down talk of crisis with a dominant showing against the Ligue 1 bottom dwellers, closing the gap at the top of the table with Nice to five points
Paris Saint-Germain returned to form in scintillating fashion on Wednesday with an emphatic 5-0 thrashing of Lorient, closing the gap to Ligue 1 leaders Nice to five points.
Defending champions PSG took full advantage of Nice's goalless draw away to Bordeaux to eke two points out of the pacesetters' advantage, but a 2-1 win for Monaco at home to Caen means Unai Emery's men head into the mid-season break in third position.
