PSG thrash Marseille to return to Ligue 1 summit

Ousmane Dembélé struck twice as Paris Saint-Germain blew away bitter rivals Marseille with a crushing 5-0 victory at the Parc des Princes, reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1. Dembélé opened the scoring after 12 minutes and added a second before half-time; Facundo Medina’s own goal made it 3-0 just past the hour and substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in completed the rout.

Luis Enrique’s side have now won seven straight league matches, but remain under pressure from surprise challengers Lens, who sit two points behind. Luis Díaz hit a hat-trick as Bayern Munich thrashed 10-man Hoffenheim 5-1 to restore a six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund’s shaky win at Wolfsburg had drawn the chasers closer, but Díaz proved the difference and Harry Kane converted two penalties, both won by Díaz, to move to 24 league goals and 38 in all competitions. “There was a lot of noise around the team after two winless games.
