Paris - Paris Saint-Germain quickly got back on track after their Champions League loss to Barcelona as Ezequiel Lavezzi netted a hat-trick in a resounding 6-1 win over Lille at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.

With leading scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended, Maxwell opened the scoring inside the opening minute, Edinson Cavani netted twice and Argentine forward Lavezzi got the first hat-trick of his Ligue 1 career to hand the capital club their biggest win since April 2012 and move them three points clear of Lyon at the top of the table.

With Lille having won six of their previous seven matches to move into contention for European qualification, this looked likely to be PSG's toughest remaining fixture as they battle it out for the title with Lyon.
