Angel Di Maria netted twice, with Kylian Mbappe also on target in a rout that takes PSG 11 points clear of second-place Lyon.

The Argie winger turned home Neymar's delicate chip in the fourth minute before extending his side's lead.

Di Maria then turned provider as his cross found Cavani, who finally drew level with Ibrahimovic.

Neymar added a superb free-kick to make it four before the break as ruthless PSG punished every error.

Angel Di Maria scores stunning goal for PSG in Ligue 1 clash with Dijon

The Brazilian's second after the break took the Parisians past five goals for the ninth time this season.

 

And after Di Maria was denied the chance of a triple when Mbappe came on, Neymar netted a brilliant solo effort.

He then found sub Mbappe for his 11th assist of the season - the only player in Europe's big five leagues to record double figures.

Cavani won a late penalty but despite the home fans begging Neymar to let his team-mate try and break Ibra's tally, the ex-Barcelona flier refused and netted his fourth.
