Nantes 0:3 PSG: Mbappe and Messi Run the Show As Parisians Continue Dominance With Easy Win Over 10 Man Nantes

• Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe run the show as Paris Saint-Germain swept aside 10-man Nantes on Saturday evening
• Messi assisted Mbappe on two occasions as the capital-based club recorded a convincing 3-0 win over their hosts
• PSG's win sees the Parisians assume the top spot of the French Ligue 1 with a healthy goal difference after six matches

Paris Saint-Germain continued to assert their dominance in the French Ligue 1 with yet another resounding victory on Saturday evening.

A brace from in-form French hitman Kylian Mbappe and a second-half strike from Nuno Mendes handed Christoph Galtier's men a 3-0 win over 10-man Nantes.

Just as they have done throughout their previous outings in the French top-flight, PSG began the game all guns blazing but it was Nantes who made the first attempt at goal after just ten minutes.

The early scare sparked the fury of the visitors with Danilo unleashing a powerful drive inside the box, only for his goal-bound effort to be equally repelled by Lafont in the 15th minute.

At the second time of asking, PSG managed to unlock the defence of Nantes with Leo Messi setting up Mbappe, who made no mistake to draw first blood from close range after 18 minutes.

Nantes will be reduced to 10 men when Fabio received his marching orders which worsened an already difficult situation for the home team.

After recess, it was all PSG as Christoph Galtier's men sought to end the game as a contest before the final whistle and Mbappe will do exactly that when he grabbed his brace and the team's second of the night.

Nuno Mendes will bring daylight between the two sides with his strike in the 68th minute to stretch the lead for PSG.

Tried as much PSG did, the visitors could not replicate the same scoreline in the French Super Cup against the same opposition in July but nonetheless, they will hold on to reclaim top spot with 16 points and a healthy goal difference of 20 goals.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning ways when the Parisians dispatched Toulouse in a routine win on Wednesday night at the Stadium Municipal.

A goal on either side of halftime from forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in addition to a stoppage-time strike from Juan Bernat handed Christoph Galtier's men all three points at stake.

Fresh after sharing the spoils with AS Monaco, the French champions began the game with their foot on the pedal as a lovely run from Mbappe saw the Frenchman in a 1v1 situation only for the Toulouse goalkeeper to come out on top in that duel.
