Paris Saint-Germain 4 Rennes 1: Di Maria and Cavani shine in Neymar's absence

Angel Di Maria excelled in Neymar's absence and was on the scoresheet alongside Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe as PSG beat Rennes.

Edinson Cavani bagged a brace as Paris Saint-Germain marched on without the injured Neymar to a 4-1 win over Rennes.

The Uruguay striker's early opener was cancelled out by M'Baye Niang, Rennes' former AC Milan forward lucky not to be sent off for crashing into Thilo Kehrer's left ankle.

Following a lacklustre opening 45 minutes, PSG powered clear as they have done in the title race, with the excellent Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe on target before the latter laid on Cavani's 20th of the season in all competitions.
