Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani All Score to Give PSG 3rd Straight League Win
PARIS — Brazilian Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani scored as Paris Saint-Germain made it three wins from as many Ligue 1 games this season with a 3-1 victory against Angers on Saturday.
Cavani got the defending champions off to a good start after Neymar was given too much space by the Angers defense.
The Brazilian's pass was deflected in the 12th minute and Cavani had no trouble converting on his first league start of the season.
German defender Thilo Kehrer then gave away a 22nd-minute penalty on his debut. Thomas Mangani duly equalized for Angers and new PSG coach Thomas Tuchel took his compatriot off at halftime.
Mbappe restored the home side's lead early in the second half, letting fly inside the far post to claim his third goal in two games after Angel de Maria picked him out with a precise cross.
The 19-year-old Mbappe then combined with Adrien Rabiot before setting up Neymar for PSG's third goal.
Dijon and promoted sides Reims and Olympique Nimes were also hoping to make it three wins from three games later on Saturday, against Nice, Amiens and Toulouse respectively.
Montpellier and Nantes were due to host Saint-Etienne and Caen respectively.
