Doubles for Ibra, Cavani as PSG cruise

Paris St Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Edinson Cavani each scored twice in a 4-0 win
over Bastia as their reshuffled side opened up
a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 on
Saturday.
Ibrahimovic netted an early double before
being replaced at halftime by Cavani who
scored a superb goal just past the hour and
notched a late penalty to round off a fine PSG
performance.
The French champions now have 24 points
from 10 games ahead of second-placed
Monaco who visit Sochaux on Sunday.
PSG warmed up for their third Champions
League Group C game at Anderlecht on
Wednesday with Ezequiel Lavezzi and Cavani on
the bench and fullbacks Gregory van der Wiel
and Maxwell rested.
Coach Laurent Blanc also had to make do
without holding midfielders Marco Verratti and
Thiago Motta with both suspended.
Sweden international Ibrahimovic, however,
made sure PSG did not have to sweat over the
result against mid-table Bastia.
He opened the scoring in the 10th minute with
a clever back heel from Lucas's cross and
doubled the tally three minutes later with a
header.
That put the home side in control of the game
and substitute Cavani put the result beyond
doubt with a sublime goal.
Starting from the edge of the area, PSG's
Uruguay striker danced through the Bastia
defence, dribbled past keeper Mickael
Landreau and netted with a low angled shot in
the 62nd.
One minute from time, Cavani got his sixth
Ligue 1 goal of the season from the spot after
Landreau brought down Lucas Digne in the
area to move ahead of Ibrahimovic who has
netted five.
