Achraf Hakimi rose to the occasion scoring a glorious hat-trick on Friday as a heavily rotated Paris Saint-Germain thumped rock-bottom Le Havre 5-1 in Ligue 1.
PSG’s nearest Ligue 1 rivals Rennes lost 5-2 at Nice to allow the champions to open a four-point gap atop the table with 20pts after nine games.
Lille host Lens later Friday and can close to within two points of PSG should they win, while Monaco can do the same if they win at Paris FC on Sunday. Le Havre gave PSG a game early on as they suddenly surged forward in numbers with the PSG backline scampering in retreat before striker Josh Maja hammered in the opener against the run of play on 18 minutes. Pushing for a second, Le Havre were carved open in a quick-fire move with Belgian winger Mika Godts racing onto a Hakimi through-ball to level on 26min. Two minutes later Hakimi left the defence trailing and his blistering low drive just inside the near post made it 2-1.
