"Ousmane Dembele struck twice as Paris Saint-Germain blew away bitter rivals Marseille on Sunday, reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1 with a crushing 5-0 victory at the Parc des Princes. Dembele opened the scoring after just 12 minutes and added a second before half-time as PSG delivered a real statement of intent going into the crucial months of the season. Facundo Medina's own goal made it 3-0 just past the hour before substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in got in on the act as PSG avenged their 1-0 defeat at the Velodrome earlier this campaign. Luis Enrique's side have now won seven straight league matches, though they remain under pressure from surprise challengers Lens, who briefly moved top on Saturday and sit just two points behind."
"Luis Diaz hit a hat-trick as Bayern Munich thrashed 10-man Hoffenheim 5-1 on Sunday to restore their six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund's shaky win at Wolfsburg on Saturday drew the chasers to within three points but Diaz, unplayable at times, was the difference maker as Bayern delivered an emphatic response. Harry Kane converted two Bayern penalties, both won by Diaz, to move up to 24 league goals for the season and 38 in all competitions."
"It was important to stay calm, Kane said to DAZN. We're heading towards the end of the season, a stage where every three points matters. We saw the gap can be cut quickly the real season starts now."
