PSG ratings v Montpellier: No Messi, Mbappe 6, Neymar 7, Gueye 8

Goals from Gueye and substitute Draxler set up 2-0 win for Ligue 1 leaders

• 

  PSG RATINGS: Keylor Navas - 7, Looked commanding whenever called upon, making good saves to deny Teji Savanier, Junior Sambia, Stephy Mavididi and Valere Germain. AFP

• 

  Achraf Hakimi - 6, It took the Moroccan about 20 seconds to make his first burst forward. Was effective whenever he did step up in the first half, while also defending well. Had some sloppy moments early in the second period but should have had an assist after playing Kylian Mbappe through. AP Photo

• 

  Marquinhos - 7, Looked authoritative at the back for PSG and was often able to take control no matter the situation. Also passed the ball well. AP Photo

• 

  Presnel Kimpembe - 6, Was combative in his display but looked a bit awkward at times, such as when the Frenchman attempted to head a ball clear without getting a clean connection. Made a good block to deny Savanier. AFP

• 

  Abdou Diallo - 6, Produced a nice flick to deal with a potentially awkward ball forward and usually matched Sambia. Made a poor pass that put Ander Herrera in an awkward situation. AFP

• 

  Idrissa Gueye - 8, Hit a superb strike from the edge of the box to open the scoring in the 14th minute, having already got himself into some good positions. Made a great pass to release Mbappe and also attended to his defensive duties well. Forced a good save in the second half. Reuters

• 

  Leandro Paredes - 6, Made a good block to deny Mihailo Ristic and looked comfortable with the ball at his feet but gave away some unnecessary free kicks in the first half. AP Photo

• 

  Ander Herrera - 7, Had a very quiet first half before hitting the crossbar with a strike from the edge of the box in the latter stages. Did well to cover Hakimi defensively when the Moroccan went forward at times and played a lovely dinked pass for Neymar. AFP

• 

  Angel Di Maria - 7, Showed nice moments of ingenuity in the early stages and selflessly teed up Gueye for the opener. Also played a great pass for Mbappe but went a bit quiet as the second half progressed. Reuters

• 

  Kylian Mbappe - 6, Had a shot well saved early on, but could have been a lot more clinical at times. His deflected pass forced a brilliant save, though the striker couldn’t wrap his foot around the ball enough after rounding the goalkeeper. AFP

• 

  Neymar - 7, Could have done better with three chances, and while the Brazilian put on a show for the supporters, there were a few times that he was a bit overindulgent. Played the pass that assisted Julian Draxler. AP Photo

• 

  SUB: Georginio Wijnaldum (Gueye, 81’) – N/R, Was pretty quiet and the Dutchman was brought down by Beni Makouana the one time he tried to break up the pitch. AFP

• 

  SUB: Mauro Icardi (Mbappe, 88’) - N/R, Worked hard and almost blocked a pass out from Jonas Omlin. AFP

• 

  SUB: Julian Draxler (Di Maria, 88’) – N/R, Came onto the pitch and scored within a couple of seconds, with his strike having enough power to go through the goalkeeper. AFP

  SUB: Rafinha (Herrera, 92’) – N/R, Didn’t have much time to make an impact but looked neat. AP Photo

Paris Saint-Germain put on a solid display in the opening half to maintain their perfect record in Ligue 1 with Idrissa Gueye's fine goal inspiring them to a 2-0 home win against Montpellier on Saturday.

Senegal midfielder Gueye fired home from just outside the box at a packed Parc des Princes and substitute Julian Draxler wrapped it up late to put the capital side on 24 points, 10 ahead of second-placed Marseille who host RC Lens on Sunday and have two games in hand.

Nice are third after they got back to winning ways by beating bottom side St Etienne 3-0 away three days after conceding their first defeat of the season.

Champions Lille claimed their second consecutive win as Jonathan David's double gave them a 2-1 victory at Racing Strasbourg.
