A trio of headed goals from Marquinhos, Adrien Rabiot and Julian Draxler and strikes from Kylian Mbappe and Moussa Diaby made it a perfect 10 wins in 10 Ligue 1 games this season for Paris Saint-Germain as they hammered Amiens 5-0 on Saturday.
Defender Marquinhos opened the scoring at the Parc Des Princes by heading home from an Angel Di Maria corner in the 12th minute, and Adrien Rabiot made it two from another corner by Di Maria three minutes before half-time.
Amiens, who are four points above the drop zone, defended bravely but they fell apart towards the end, with Draxler heading home in the 80th minute and Mbappe rifling a shot low to the right of the goalkeeper to make it four two minutes later.
Midfielder Diaby jinked into the box and placed the ball in the same spot to make it 5-0 two minutes from time in front of a raucous home crowd.
With many of the weekend's fixtures still to be played, the win put PSG top of the table on 30 points, 11 ahead of second-placed Lille, who are away to Dijon later on Saturday.
Olympic Lyonnais, who beat Nimes 2-0 on Friday, are third on 17 points.

Two vastly varying fortunes for the table toppers in France and Italy then.
PSG recorded their second successive 5-0 win by dispatching Amiens at the Parc des Princes, extending their lead at the summit of the Ligue 1 table momentarily to 11 points before Lille face Dijon tonight.
It was a much tougher outing for Juventus, who were held by Genoa in Turin, which saw them drop their first points of the season.
