Ibrahimovic helps PSG rout Bastia

A brace from star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped to propel Paris Saint Germain to a 4-0 romp at Bastia on Saturday as the capital club moved into provisional third spot in Ligue 1. A flurry of early draws have held up PSG’s assault on the summit currently occupied by Marseille, who were three points ahead of their traditional rivals ahead of a home meeting with Evian on Sunday. But they were well on their way to a third straight victory once Jeremy Menez eased them in front in the seventh minute before Ibrahimovic struck five minutes before half-time. Meanwhile, newly promoted Reims are just two points behind Lorient and PSG after Gaetan Courtet’s early goal and Diego Rigonato’s penalty sealed a comfortable win. From gulftoday
