Recap: Kvaratskhelia scores first goal as PSG dominate Monaco (4-1)

Les Parisiens further increased their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 McDonald's table with a dominant win over AS Monaco at home on Friday evening.

Paris Saint-Germain were triumphant against AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes on Friday evening to go thirteen points clear at the top of the Ligue McDonald's. Ousmande Dembélé was at the double once more for Les Parisiens, as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was also on target with his first Ligue 1 McDonald's goal, after Vitinha opened the scoring in the first ten minutes of the game.

The Portuguese midfielder took a floated free kick from out wide which caught Majecki off guard with a shot at the near post which flew into the back of the net (7'). The goal paid off for some early dominance from Luis Enrique's side, who had the measure of Monégasques for much of the game in terms of possession and chances on goal. Yet Adi Hütter's side had to respond and they responded well as Denis Zakaria was played in behind following a fine pass from midfield. The Swiss international managed to strike well at the near post, and it managed to catch Gianluigi Donnarumma off guard and see the visitors equalise against the league leaders (17').

The Italian had to be on hand to save from Biereth, after PSG had the ball in the back of the net via Barcola but referee Clément Turpin ruled it out after the ball went out of play in the build up. By half-time, Les Parisiens had further chances to ago ahead against the Principality side - they would get their rewards when they came back from the break.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was fed the ball in a dangerous position and feinted in front of Mawissa, sending the defender to the floor before beating Majecki with a powerful strike to put Les Parisiens ahead and score his first goal in PSG colours in the process (54'). Ousmane Dembélé would then get in on the act to score yet again for Les Parisiens, combining well with Doué in the box and finishing at the near post to add a quickfire third (57'). If Luis Enrique's side were good value for their lead, they would complete it with another goal from Dembélé right at the end of the affair at the Parc, perfectly drilling the ball into the back of the net to put Les Parisiens well out of sight.

THE STAT: Dembouz Delight

Ousmane Dembélé became the first player in PSG history to score in each of his first seven official matches in a calendar year with Les Parisiens.
