PSG stay perfect

Paris Saint-Germain's front three of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani all scored as the French side romped to a third straight Champions League win by thrashing Anderlecht 4-0 in Brussels on Wednesday.

Mbappe put PSG ahead inside three minutes and Cavani grabbed his fourth goal in three Champions League outings before half-time. Neymar scored a free-kick midway through the second period with his ninth goal for the club since his record-breaking move from Barcelona, before Angel Di Maria came off the bench to complete the rout.

The French Ligue 1 leaders are now three points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of Group B ahead of the home match against bottom side Anderlecht on October 31.

"In the first period it wasn't perfect with the level of control of the match," said PSG coach Unai Emery. "We were sometimes surprised on the counter-attack, but in the second half we found a better balance.

"The match started very well with that goal in the third minute. But then, for a moment, we lost track. We know there will be no easy games this season."

PSG scored eight goals in the opening two wins against Celtic and Bayern Munich, and they didn't waste any time in breaking the deadlock on Wednesday, with Mbappe finding space inside the area before drilling home his second Champions League goal for the club.
