Mauricio Pochettino claimed his first win with Paris St Germain (PSG) on Saturday as the French champions edged closer to the top of the Ligue 1 table.
They beat Stade Brestois 3-0 at home, prevailing through goals by Moise Kean, Mauro Icardi, and Pablo Sarabia to be on 39 points from 19 games.
The title-holders are one point behind Lyon who salvaged a 2-2 draw at Rennes.
Three days after a lackluster performance during a 1-1 draw at Saint-Etienne in Pochettino’s debut, PSG failed to impress again.
But at least they bagged three points at the Parc des Princes this time around.
Marquinhos’ header bounced off the post and into the path of Italy forward Kean, who tapped in for his ninth goal in 13 league games.
It took a quick save from Gautier Larsonneur to deny Marquinhos shortly afterward as PSG kept the pressure on.
But the home side was far from convincing and left it late to wrap it up.
Icardi doubled the tally nine minutes from time with a cool finish from Kylian Mbappe’s pass, before Sarabia added the third two minutes later with a crossed shot.
