PSG go top with convincing victory over Montpellier

On Friday, Paris St Germain took provisional top spot in Ligue 1 with a 3-0 home win over Montpellier, thanks to goals from Lee Kang-in, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Vitinha.

After 10 minutes, Lee fired into the top corner following a low cross from Achraf Hakimi, which Kylian Mbappe dummied for the South Korean.

The visitors attempted to equalize, but PSG's exciting 17-year-old prospect Zaire-Emery thundered home after Ousmane Dembele's back-heel in the 58th minute.

Eight minutes later, Hakimi was again on hand to cross for substitute Vitinha to slam into the corner.

In added time, Luis Enrique's PSG team had the ball in the net again, but the effort was disallowed for offside.

PSG lead the table with 24 points, two more than Nice, who play Stade Rennes on Sunday. Montpellier are 11th in the table with 11 points.
