Angel Di Maria (right) scored his 85th and 86th goals in all competitions for Paris St-Germain
Angel Di Maria scored twice and Moise Kean grabbed his fifth goal in five games as Paris St-Germain moved five points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with victory over third-place Rennes.
However, the win came at a further cost for injury-hit PSG as Kean, defender Thilo Kehrer and midfielder Idrissa Gueye all had to come off prematurely.
Kean's low strike put PSG ahead before Di Maria clipped home the second.
The Argentina winger made it 3-0 with a low deflected shot in the 75th minute.
Julien Stephan's side, making their Champions League debut this season, regularly threatened in the PSG area, but goalkeeper Keylor Navas was called into action only on a couple of occasions.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel will be thankful for the upcoming international break.
The German was again without his two injured star strikers Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, with Juan Bernat, Mauro Icardi, Presnel Kimpembe, Julian Draxler, Pablo Sarabia and Marco Verratti also sidelined.
He then had to replace Gueye and Kehrer in the first half before Kean limped off after the break.
Full-back Alessandro Florenzi failed to re-appear after half-time, although it was unclear whether he had also picked up an injury.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer oversaw a 3-1 victory at Everton on Saturday - their third Premier League win of the season
It says everything about Manchester United at present that as he discussed the search for consistency with journalists in the build-up to his side's trip to Everton, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to stop and offer clarification: "Consistently doing well is what I mean, not the other way."
After a week of increasing pressure and mounting uncertainty about his future either side of an embarrassing defeat at Istanbul Basaksehir, Solskjaer and United have every reason to be delighted with a 3-1 win at Goodison Park.
It is only the fourth time they have returned from the blue half of Merseyside with maximum points since 2008. They have lost at Everton five times in that same period, when the backdrop was substantially more positive than the one that framed Saturday's game.
Between international breaks, United picked up seven points from four tricky fixtures, plus two wins from three in a really difficult Champions League group.
Had this return been offered in the wake of that 6-1 horror show against Tottenham on 4 October, it is fair to assume it would have been accepted.
Yet nothing about a period where United have secured two excellent away wins in the league - but collected just one point from six at home - and beaten two of last season's Champions League semi-finalists - while also losing to a side who have never previously won a game in the competition - will convince anyone Solskjaer has suddenly found the right blend to turn the club back into a major force.
Back from the brink - again
Bruno Fernandes scored twice in Manchester United's win against Everton
There are many faults with Solskjaer's United, but one thing both the manager and his players seem to have in abundance is character.
It is open to debate whether the Norwegian's job was on the line at Everton. Club sources said not but a heavy defeat would have created enormous pressure on them to make a change.
What is beyond doubt is the external noise around Old Trafford was loud. It was the same last month after the Tottenham debacle.
And it is a recurring theme of Solskjaer's reign. Last season, a 2-0 home defeat by Burnley put him in the firing line, given his side had collected three points from four games and had cup trips to Manchester City and Chelsea on the horizon.
A month before that, a disappointing draw with Aston Villa meant they had 10 points from nine games - and had beaten only Norwich and Brighton. Tottenham and City were their next Premier League opponents.
On every one of these occasions, Solskjaer's team has delivered. He beat Pep Guardiola's City side three times last season.
At Newcastle on 17 October, and again at Goodison Park on Saturday, United fought back after going behind. This is not the response of a team that lacks guts or is not playing for the manager.
However, it does beg the question: why do they need to be peering over a cliff edge before they can perform to the levels they are so obviously capable of?
"We want more consistency, to kick on and go on a run, climb the table and qualify for the Champions League," said Solskjaer after Saturday's victory.
"No-one likes to be criticised. My players don't. So, of course they are going to come out and show what they are about and show their quality.
"My job now is to make sure that guard is up every time and doesn't drop, and we don't go into any game with a sense of: 'We don't have to work, that it will be easy and we can out-play teams.'
"We have to out-fight teams and out-run teams as well, and today was an exceptional performance for a long time after a difficult week for the boys."
In central defence, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof were outstanding at Goodison Park, denying Everton's England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been so impressive all season, a clear sight of goal. Yet there have been times this campaign when, individually, both players have been a shambles.
Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka made positive contributions on Saturday. Yet both were on the pitch against Basaksehir and - given they are both full-backs who do not tend to score - presumably at least one should have been paying far more attention to the developing situation that led to Demba Ba's opener on Wednesday.

Can Man Utd be trusted?
When they return from the international break, United face an intense schedule of games. Depending on cup commitments and a trip to Burnley that still needs to be rearranged, they could have anything between six and 11 successive midweek fixtures.
There will barely be any time to draw breath until February.
Yet scanning their fixture list brings a sense of foreboding. The next three Premier League away games are against Southampton, West Ham United and Sheffield United - none of which resulted in victories last season. Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa are among the next visitors to Old Trafford - those corresponding fixtures in 2019-20 did not end in wins either.
West Brom, who are winless so far this season, are United's next opponents. Not many supporters will be completely sure three points will be secured. Victory would end a five-match Premier League sequence without a home and successive league triumphs for the first time since the beginning of July.
As Solskjaer was indicating as he adjusted what he was saying on Friday, the only consistency about Manchester United at present is their inconsistency. That is not a basis from which to achieve any long-term success.
The Everton match was Solskjaer's 102nd as United manager. When he reached his century against Arsenal a week ago, a rather surprising statistic emerged. Solskjaer had won more games (55) in that first 100 than Jurgen Klopp (50) did at Liverpool. The Anfield club's inconsistencies were to continue for a little while longer - they won only six of their next 14 fixtures.
After that, Liverpool paid £75m to sign Virgil van Dijk and it was only following the Netherlands defender's arrival that the Reds were able to reach a consistent level of performance that ultimately saw them become first European and then English champions.
When you assess the mix of extremes Manchester United are presently capable of, it is becoming clear they need to make a similarly bold statement if they are to change the narrative in any meaningful way.

Lukasz Fabianski was left waiting just to make the save from Ademola Lookman's poor penalty
Fulham's Ademola Lookman missed a Panenka-style penalty with the last kick of the game as West Ham clinched a dramatic victory with an injury-time winner of their own.
The game had looked on course to end goalless before Tomas Soucek drove home from substitute Said Benrahma's pass inside the box in the first minute of injury time.
But Fulham were awarded a 95th-minute penalty when Benrahma caught Tom Cairney and, after a check by the video assistant referee, the spot-kick was awarded.
Aleksandar Mitrovic had missed his previous penalty so Lookman stepped up but his chipped effort lacked any sort of power, leaving Lukasz Fabianski waiting to make an ultimately comfortable catch.
Lookman, who has been one of Fulham's better players so far this season, understandably looked devastated when the referee blew for full-time as the chance of what would have been a well-earned point slipped away.
Fulham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola had made a number of excellent saves to deny West Ham and put the visitors within minutes of a second successive clean sheet after claiming their first win of the season against West Brom last time out.
Areola, who is on loan from Paris St-Germain, kept out Arthur Masuaku, Aaron Cresswell and Jarrod Bowen inside the first 10 minutes and also pushed Cresswell's free-kick onto the bar early in the second half.
Fulham finished strongly and had good chances to take all three points themselves as Lookman and Bobby Decordova-Reid both drew saves out of Fabianski.
But just as they looked to leave West Ham with a point, Soucek's late winner and Lookman's poor penalty ensured it was the hosts who claimed their third win of the season.
Should the West Ham goal have stood?
Soucek's goal was in the 91st minute
To add to Fulham's frustrations, both managers were in agreement after the game that there were question marks over whether Soucek's goal should have even stood.
The contentious issue was that a ball into the box was aimed at Haller, who was in an offside position, but play continued and the ball was headed down to Benrahma by the Fulham defence to produce the assist for Soucek to strike.
"A tough call on Fulham for our goal because the offside rule is not a good rule. I would claim offside for that, but we get a goal from it," said West Ham boss David Moyes.
"None of us really know the offside rule now," said Fulham boss Scott Parker. "We've got VAR, every gadget and gimmick and there are so many things to look at nobody knows.
"He's (Haller) interfering with play, my defender can't leave it."
Defeat unfortunate for much-improved Fulham
Fulham had made a terrible start to the season that suggested they would be heading back to the Championship with a whimper, losing their first four games.
But in their last two matches there have been significant signs of improvement. They were good value for their win against West Brom and they withstood some early pressure in this game that previously might have seen them wilt.
After that, their defence was rarely troubled as a West Ham side missing the attacking spark of Michail Antonio struggled to make an impression in the final third.
Failing to take a point in such a cruel fashion will be difficult to take for Fulham fans but their overall display in the 90 minutes before then should provide encouragement for the future.
Hammers run continues - the stats
West Ham are unbeaten in their last 11 home league games against Fulham (won seven, drawn four), with the Hammers currently on a four-game winning streak, their longest since a five-game run between September 1953 and September 1957.
Fulham are winless in their last 17 Premier League London derbies (16 losses), with their current run of 13 consecutive defeats in such matches a top-flight record.
Fulham have won just one of their last 25 Premier League games on the road in the Premier League, a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth in April 2019.
West Ham manager David Moyes is unbeaten in his 14 Premier League home games against Fulham (W13 D1).
Since scoring with two consecutive efforts in January 2019 against Brighton, Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored with just three of his last 77 shots in the Premier League. He hasn't scored with any of his last 46 non-penalty shots with his right or left foot since a goal against Huddersfield Town in December 2018.
West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has saved seven penalties since the start of the 2016-17 Premier League campaign; three more than any other goalkeeper.
West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek's goal was West Ham's first 90th-minute winner since Javier Hernandez scored in a 4-3 thriller against Huddersfield Town in March 2019.

By the early 1970s Indian tigers had been hunted and poached to the edge of extinction - just 1800 were left, down from an estimated 40,000 in the 1930s.
The Prime Minister at the time, Indira Gandhi, banned hunting and set up 15 reserves across the country to try to re-establish the tiger in its natural habitat.
These reserves allowed the land to return to nature and the tigers to flourish, protected by wardens.
Tiger expert Valmik Thapar tells the BBC how he saw tiger numbers grow substantially, reaching 4000 in the 1990s. But since then poaching has returned and he fears for the future of the tiger.

Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered a calf injury against Manchester City
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says the Premier League "has to change" its fixture scheduling, with Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola adding that players are not protected.
It follows Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's criticism of match timings, with his Manchester United team kicking off at 12:30 GMT on Saturday after playing on Wednesday in the Champions League.

bbc--2020-11-08--Mourinho - a 'busted flush' at Man Utd now reborn at Tottenham?

Jose Mourinho is too experienced to get drawn into talk of winning the Premier League .
The Portuguese saw it coming - and took evasive action .

On more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Mourinho linked the 1-0 victory at West Brom with a similar success at Burnley in Tottenham 's last away game on 26 October .
The goalscorer that day was Son Heung-min in the 76th-minute .
Against West Brom it was Harry Kane in the 88th .

`` This game has some similarities to the one at Burnley , where the clean sheet kept us in the running for the three points , '' said Mourinho after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you score a goal it 's time to be compact and fight for that victory .

Jose Mourinho had to stop himself from a run down the touchline when Harry Kane scored the winner at West Brom
Jose Mourinho is too experienced to get drawn into talk of winning the Premier League.
It was only for a couple of hours, but with his Tottenham team top of the pile after one of those narrow, scrappy wins that characterise title-winning teams, Mourinho was asked if his squad has what it takes.
The Portuguese saw it coming - and took evasive action.
"I don't care," he said, referring both to the title race itself and the results of Leicester and Liverpool in matches being played after he had spoken that would have a direct effect on what position Spurs would be in as they head into the international break.
Yet, in a way, that Mourinho was even answering a question like that is relative success.
In December 2018, following his dismissal by Manchester United at the end of a tortuous period where rows and recriminations were of far more significance than anything his team was producing on the pitch at Old Trafford, it was generally felt Mourinho was a busted flush.
Improved defence key to a sustained challenge?
Though others might have thought it, Mourinho never felt he was yesterday's man. Neither did he feel his methods for playing the game were outdated, as others claimed.
He remains an organisational coach. He also still wants to be a winning one.
On more than one occasion during his post-match news conference, Mourinho linked the 1-0 victory at West Brom with a similar success at Burnley in Tottenham's last away game on 26 October.
The goalscorer that day was Son Heung-min in the 76th-minute. Against West Brom it was Harry Kane in the 88th. Whether it is Gareth Bale, as it was at The Hawthorns, or Carlos Vinicius, who replaced the Welshman in the latter stages, Mourinho feels he has the firepower to score goals anywhere, at any time.
West Brom 0-1 Tottenham: Jose Mourinho praises Baggies' spirit
The key is what happens at the back.
Tottenham kept only two clean sheets away from home in the Premier League last season.
They have already matched that total this term and Mourinho feels the collapse against West Ham - when his side conceded three times in the final eight minutes to draw a match that appeared to have been won in the opening 16 - was the trigger for greater solidity.
"This game has some similarities to the one at Burnley, where the clean sheet kept us in the running for the three points," said Mourinho after Sunday's win. "Then when you score a goal it's time to be compact and fight for that victory.
"We felt the pain against West Ham and since then, strategically, the team is behaving in a different way."
The key decisions Mourinho has made
The arrival of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton has brought solidity to Tottenham's midfield
It is tempting to say Mourinho inherited a better squad than the one he had at Manchester United, which is why he is getting better results.
This may be true. However, the 57-year-old has made some key personnel decisions, all of which fit his demand for organisation - explaining why he was so delighted with the defensive performances at Burnley and West Brom.
First, he has changed both full-backs. Matt Doherty proved as a wing-back at Wolves how effective he can be. The Irishman has been switched to an orthodox full-back position now but he has the defensive awareness Mourinho craves in addition to being a threat going forward. It was no coincidence he supplied the cross for Kane's winner.
When Tottenham signed Bale from Real Madrid in September, the arrival of Sergio Reguilon - from the same place, at the same time - slipped somewhat under the radar.
But the 23-year-old could prove to be a better signing. Loaned to Sevilla and part of the team that won last season's Europa League, Reguilon is very much a modern full-back. He gets forward, takes free-kicks and shoots from long range. But, like Doherty, he can also defend.
And then there is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, a £15m arrival from Southampton during the close season, who also brings solidity to Tottenham's midfield.
Hojbjerg is not a fussy player. At West Brom, he showed what he does - he gets the ball and passes it on. The 25-year-old Dane's presence allows Moussa Sissoko to get further forward and bring the strength in midfield Mourinho likes.
The omission of Dele Alli is viewed as the manager's big decision since replacing Mauricio Pochettino, but fellow England midfielder Harry Winks - a lifelong Spurs fan - also looks as though he is suffering from his manager's demand for overall improvement.
In isolation, none of these moves look that significant - not alongside the goals of Kane and Son.
But Pochettino's Tottenham never got to the top of the table. While it was only a fleeting visit for now, the changes Mourinho has made may yet mean they - and he - return there in a more substantial way before the season is over.

Ecuadorian striker Felipe Caicedo scored a 95th-minute equaliser as Lazio denied Juventus victory in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico.
Caicedo turned and fired past Wojciech Szczesny in the 95th minute after great wing-play from Joaquin Correa.
