Auxerre stud no chance against super-mighty Saints, 5-0
Paris Saint-Germain restored their five-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table on Sunday afternoon with a landslide, 5-0 win over Auxerre.
The hosts were quick to get in the lead, as Kylian Mbappe emphatically finished from close range.
The rest of the first half would see PSG dominate but understandably unwilling to commit too much to the game, as they remained largely undisturbed by Auxerre's sporadic counters.
Real fans will not bypass this without a like❤️ What a massive win today PSG 5:0 against Auxerre

Mendes lifted a squared ball onto Carlos Soler's head for a finish into the bottom corner for the Spaniard early in the second half to kill the game. PSG soon began to pull away as Achraf Hakimi added the third and Renato Sanches the fourth.
The loudest cheer of the afternoon, though, would come for 20-year-old Hugo Ekitike's goal, with the summer recruit getting his first for his new club.
