Ousmane Dembele scored his 20th league goal of the season, when Paris Saint-Germain returned to winning ways with a 4-1 win over Rennes.
Match report
Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos were also on goal in front of Luis Enrique, who responded to their mid -week defeat against Liverpool by clearly moving 16 points on the Ligue 1 top.
PSG broke the impasse in the 27th minute when Desire Doucola released, which curled his 13th league goal of the season.
Barcola became a provider when the visitors doubled their lead five minutes after the restart and cut the ball back for Ramos to throw home, although Lilian Brassier's header had halved the shortage of Rennes shortly thereafter.
Dembele, however, climbed from the bank to put the game outside the hosts with two goals in stopping time.
Firstly, Achraf Hakimi put the ball on a plate for him to bundle home before he curled an 18-meter attempt to bring his Ligue 1 goal for the campaign to 20.

Debrief data: PSG Edge closer to the record of Milan
PSG extended their unbeaten stripe in Ligue 1 to 37 games, with AC Milan (38 between 1991 and 1993) the only side in the Big Five European Leagues that enjoys a longer run.
With his goal and assist in a sixth match in 2025 – more than any other player in the Big Five European Leagues – Barcola is now involved in 30 goals in all competitions this season (18 goals, 12 assists).
Dembele undoubtedly stated the result by scoring twice from the bank in a league match for the first time in his career.
PSG took their goal in Ligue 1 this period up to 70 and became the first team to do this after 25 games of a French top campaign on three separate occasions.
