Neymar and Edinson Cavani were among the goals, as Paris Saint-Germain thumped Keagan Dolly's Montpellier 4-0, at the Parc de Princes. The home side broke the deadlock after 15 minutes, courtesy of a close-range finish from Edinson Cavani, who is now PSG's all-time top scorer with 157 goals. PSG nearly bagged a second goal six minutes later, but Pedo Mandes produced a superb save to deny Cavani his second of the day. Unai Emery's charge were well in control in the encounter, as Montpellier failed to pose a threat in the first half. With five minutes remaining in the half, PSG were awarded spot-kick, which Neymar duly converted to make it 2-0. Unai Emery opted for a change at the start of the second half, as Marquinhos replaced Thiago Silva. PSG's third goal eventually arrived on 70 minutes, courtesy of a close range finish from Angel Di Maria, following some fine build-up play Dolly was introduced with 13 minutes remaining, as the Bafana Bafana international replaced Nordi Mukiele. Neymar rounded off the scoring for the hosts in the 82nd minute, to complete his brace on the night and to make it 4-0 on the night.
