Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Bordeaux: Stunning Cavani sends hosts to victory

Oct 1, 2016 1:02:59 PM

The Uruguayan was in fine form to take his Ligue 1 tally to eight in seven matches, as the hosts strolled past their rivals to get their season back on track

Edinson Cavani played the starring role as Paris Saint-Germain overpowered Bordeaux to pick up a 2-0 victory at the Parc des Princes.

Unai Emery's side went down 2-0 to Toulouse last weekend and have been left playing catch-up in the early knockings of the Ligue 1 title race behind Monaco and Nice.

But they looked every inch France's dominant side on Saturday, with Cavani scoring a pair of superb first-half goals to put PSG well in command.
