Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Maghnes Akliouche made the difference as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a 3-1 victory over Le Mans, extending their winning streak in the French league to three consecutive matches.

PSG started the game with a heavily rotated line-up, but still managed to take the lead through a penalty converted by Lucas Beraldo. However, Le Mans fought back after the break, with Louis Mafouta finding the net to restore parity and put the visitors back in contention.

That prompted an immediate response from PSG head coach Luis Enrique, who made four substitutions in a bid to regain control of the contest. The introduction of key players quickly paid off, as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia restored the Parisian side's lead before Maghnes Akliouche scored his first goal for the club to seal a convincing 3-1 victory.
