Ousmane Dembele scored his second hat trick of the week when he helped Paris Saint-Germain to a 5-2 victory over Brest on Saturday.
Goncalo Ramos also added a late double to ensure that the points expand their unbeaten streak and 13 points moving free from the second place Marseille.
Dembele, who hit 4-1 wins in Stuttgart three times in the Champions League on Wednesday, opened the score for the visitors just before half an hour and tapped an empty network of the short cross of Bradley Barcola.
However, Brest clawed only five minutes after the break due to the strike of Romain del Castillo about the goal.
Dembele gave them a pillow with two goals with two goals in five minutes shortly thereafter. He held neatly on the bent pass from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Slot in his second before he got his third from the edge of the six-year box.
Ludovic Ajorque seemed to have set up a nervy end by withdrawing one in the 71st minute, but Ramos' Late Double brought the result without a doubt as he scored twice up close in the final phase.
Defending champion PSG moved to 50 points of 20 games, while the eighth placed Brest remained at 28 points.

Data Debrief: Hat-Trick Hero
It was the week before Dembele, while he succeeded his leading role in the Champions League against Stuttgart with another triple in the competition.
He is the first PSG player ever to score successive hat tricks in all competitions. He also scored in each of his last five Ligue 1 matches (nine goals) and brought his 14th league goal of the campaign.
PSG is still unbeaten in the French top flight (W15 D5), due to the first 20 games of the season without defeat for only the fourth time (also in 1985-86, 2915-16 and 2018-19).
In the meantime, Brest continued their scorching form at home against the Parisians and has now lost their last eight of such Ligue 1 matches against them.
