PARIS: French champions Paris St Germain moved level on points with Monaco at the top of Ligue 1 after Angel Di Maria scored in each half to give them a 2-0 win at Angers on Friday.
PSG, who are bidding for a fifth successive French title, moved up to 74 points, having played a game more than leaders Monaco, who are at home to second-bottom Dijon on Saturday. Angers stayed 12th on 39 points.
Argentina winger Di Maria fired PSG ahead with a superb 28th-minute free kick and sealed the win in the 84th minute after he rounded off a flowing move, stretching their unbeaten league run to 14 games.
