Paris Saint-Germain hit Bordeaux for six to fire another daunting statement of intent and cement top spot in Ligue 1.

The Parisians thrashed Bordeaux 6-2 at the Parc des Princes to claim a three-point lead on rivals Monaco, who could only draw 1-1 with Montpellier on Friday night.

Neymar curled a fine free-kick and struck a penalty as PSG mercilessly swiped away Bordeaux's unbeaten start to the league campaign.

Thomas Meunier, Edinson Cavani, Julian Draxler and Kylian Mbappe were all on target too, as the Paris powerhouses ensured they became the league's only side to move to eight games unbeaten.

Cavani and Neymar rowed on the field over spot-kick duties in the 2-0 win over Lyon on September 17, but there were no such feuds here, with the pair all smiles and hugs amid a rarely-troubled rout.

Bordeaux hit back through Younousse Sankhare and Jonathan Cafu's late penalty, but that scant consolation hardly even wobbled PSG from their lofty perch.

Martin Terrier's last-gasp equaliser denied 10-men Dijon victory over Strasbourg.
