"The Parisian side threatened from kick-off when Désiré Doué's strike was blocked and Bradley Barcola's effort flew wide of the upright and their quick start was rewarded in the 12th minute when Nuno Mendes found Dembele, who smashed the ball home. Amine Gouiri almost equalised moments later, but Matvey Safonov was equal to his attempt and another flurry of attacks from the visitors saw Mason Greenwood's strike blocked and Quinten Timber hit an effort wide."
"Doue's shot was held by Jeffrey de Lange before Dembélé struck again in the 37th-minute with a fantastic move weaving into the box from the right flank and past the Marseille defence before firing home at the near post. The forward nearly bagged his hat trick before the break, but could only blast the ball wide as PSG took a two-goal advantage into the break."
Paris Saint-Germain produced a dominant 5-0 win over Marseille at the Parc des Princes. Ousmane Dembélé scored twice in the first half to give PSG an early advantage. The margin increased after the break via a Facundo Medina own goal, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-In added further goals to complete the rout. The victory keeps PSG top of the Ligue 1 table, two points clear of Lens. Marseille drop out of the top three and were overtaken by Lyon. The teams had met twice earlier this season, with Marseille winning the reverse league fixture and PSG winning the Champions Trophy on penalties.
