PSG 2-0 Angers

After helping the Ligue 1 leaders recover from last week's loss to Lens by inflicting a tenth straight defeat on bottom-dwellers Angers, Lionel Messi made it a successful return to Paris. Hugo Ekitike scored a Nordi Mukiele cross at the near post to give the leaders an early lead. This was his third goal of the season as the youthful striker continues to adjust to life following his highly publicized summer transfer from Reims.

However, the visitors would hold out for the remainder of the half as they repelled some haphazard efforts from the league's top scorers, with Neymar and Ekitike breaking through the defence but unable to deliver the ball on goal. The defensive gates were opened by Lionel Messi, as has frequently happened this season. The Argentinean made it a successful return to Paris by doubling the advantage following a deft one-two with Nordi Mukiele.
