Angel Di Maria scores as PSG cruise to 3-0 win over Guingamp
Tuesday 22 September 2015 22:59, UK
Angel Di Maria scored his first domestic goal for Paris St Germain as the Ligue 1 champions eventually eased past a game Guingamp 3-0 at the Parc des Princes.
After Argentinian compatriot Javier Pastore opened the scoring with a clinical finish in the 18th minute, Di Maria, who moved to the capital club from Manchester United over the summer, doubled PSG's lead with a quarter of an hour remaining.
Di Maria had opened his PSG account with a goal in the Champions League victory over Malmo last week, and he grabbed his first league strike by tapping in after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's effort was spilled by Guingamp goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.
Ibrahimovic then scored his first goal of the season in the 83rd minute but the Swedish striker then saw his penalty saved by Lossl moments later after Younousse Sankhare had felled Edinson Cavani in the area.
Unbeaten PSG are now four points clear at the top of the standings after their fifth victory in seven games.
Elsewhere, Angers' miserly defence proved unbreakable once again as fellow in-form side Reims were held to a goalless draw at Stade Jean Bouin.
The impressive hosts have kept four clean sheets in their opening six games since promotion, leaving them in fifth place in Ligue 1.
Both sides showed plenty of endeavour in the opening 45 minutes but neither Angers' Ludovic Butelle nor Reims' Johnny Placide were forced into any real work in their respective goals.
