PSG move to second
Brazilian duo Lucas and Marquinhos gave Paris Saint Germain a 2-0 win at Caen on Wednesday, ending a run of three successive draws and moving the champions into second spot.
The victory was also the perfect tonic ahead of next Tuesday's mouth-watering Champions League duel against Barcelona in Paris.
The win, their first since early August and first away from home this season, put PSG three points behind leaders and bitter rivals Marseille in the Ligue 1 table.
Despite missing star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a heel injury, PSG still had too much class for Caen.
Lucas put them 1-0 up after 17 minutes, easily brushing off two defenders before firing home from 10 metres past Remy Vercoutre in the Caen goal.
Fellow-Brazilian Marquinhos added the second 10 minutes into the second half when he headed in a corner from Jean-Christophe Bahebeck with the ball evading the desperate attempts of N'Golo Kante to clear.
