Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique could not hide his delight after teenage sensation Dro Fernandez net his first goal for the club. The 18-year-old, who completed a high-profile move from Barcelona in January, scored during PSG's 4-0 away triumph over Nice as the reigning champions reclaimed top spot in Ligue 1.

Nuno Mendes opened the scoring from the penalty spot and Desire Doue doubled the advantage before Fernandez added a third and Warren Zaire-Emery sealed the win. Fernandez was making his sixth league appearance; after a challenging start to the campaign he is now truly finding his feet in France.

Speaking to Ligue 1+, the manager praised the squad's rotation and the forward's milestone, saying: "At 18 years old, scoring your first goal is important. I am very happy." He added that this type of victory "strengthens the team's bonds" and noted the importance of the return after the last international break before the World Cup.
