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.
