PSG v Montpellier
PSG thrash Montpellier 6-0 with Barcola double
Bradley Barcola scored twice as Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain hammered Montpellier 6-0 in their first home game of the season on Friday.
PSG were dominant throughout the encounter at the Parc des Princes to record a second straight win following their 4-1 victory at Le Havre in their league opener last week.
Barcola opened the scoring in the fourth minute following a great solo run down the left flank before Marco Asensio doubled the lead, sending the ball into the net after a brilliant team move through a weak defence from the visitors in the 24th.
Barcola netted his second with a tap-in off a Ousmane Dembele pass eight minutes after the break, while Achraf Hakimi coolly slotted home from Nuno Mendes' pinpoint long-range cross five minutes later.
Warren Zaire-Emery got on the scoresheet on the hour mark off Dembele's second assist and substitute Lee Kang-in sealed the rout with a fine effort from the edge of the box eight minutes from time.
