Kylian Mbappescored twice as Paris Saint-Germain romped to a 4-1 win away at Lyon on Sunday to leave their crisis-hit opponents bottom of Ligue 1.
Mbappe's two goals in the first half sandwiched strikes by Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio as PSGproduced a ruthless performance that augurs well for the rest of the season.
Corentin Tolisso pulled one back with a penalty in the second half for Lyon but the seven-time former French champions are enduring a miserable start to the campaign and are now bottom with just one point from four games.
Laurent Blanc's side prop up the division on goal difference behind last season's runners-up Lens and Clermont.
PSG, meanwhile, are suddenly up to second, two points behind early league leaders Monaco, after a second straight win to follow draws in their opening two games.
