Paris Saint-Germain have been in fine form this season, and they showed it once again as they defeated Lens 3-1 at the Parc des Princes.
The game started off with both teams playing cautiously, but Paris took control early on through a goal from Lionel Messi. The Argentine forward scored his first goal for PSG since he joined the club last summer, and it was a stunning strike that left the Lens goalkeeper no chance.
However, Lens responded well and were able to equalize just before halftime. A penalty awarded by the referee after a handball in the box was converted by Adama Traore, who is now leading the league goalscorers with six goals in 14 games.
The second half saw more of the same, with both teams trying to take advantage of each other's weaknesses. However, it was Paris who were able to take control and score two more goals in quick succession through Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria.
The final goal came late in the game when a corner kick found its way into the back of the net, giving Paris their third win in a row. It was a dominant display from PSG, who will be looking to continue their winning streak against Ligue 1 rivals next week.
Overall, this was a strong performance from Paris Saint-Germain, who are showing no signs of slowing down. They will be hoping to maintain their momentum and continue closing the gap on leaders Lyon in the title race.
