Paris St-Germain Claims Victory Over Auxerre to Top Ligue 1

Paris St-Germain secured their position at the top of Ligue 1 with a decisive victory against Auxerre.

Illia Zabarnyi netted his first goal for the club following his summer transfer from Bournemouth, scoring with a volley at the back post from Vitinha's cross at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

The home team extended their lead when Lucas Beraldo headed in a cross from Senny Mayulu.

With this win, PSG moved ahead of Marseille, who had previously defeated them on Monday, marking their fifth victory in six league matches.

Auxerre had opportunities to score, including a powerful shot from Kevin Danois that struck the woodwork and a header from Sekou Mara that was cleared off the line.

While Luis Enrique's side created more chances, Achraf Hakimi's attempted lob was disallowed for offside, and Bradley Barcola sent a header over the bar.

Currently, Auxerre sits 13th in the league table, having suffered four losses in six matches.

PSG will next travel to Barcelona on Wednesday for their second match in the Champions League group stage.
