Kylian Mbappe was largely kept quiet by some robust defending ahead of PSG's visit to AC Milan in the Champions League in midweek.
Paris Saint-Germain beat Montpellier 3-0 to climb provisionally top of France's Ligue 1 on Friday, with Ousmane Dembele providing much of the ammunition. Luis Enrique's new-look PSG seem to be clicking into gear with Lee Kang-in, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha bagging the goals in a dominant win. Reigning champions PSG moved two points clear of Nice at the top.
"What I see is positive, the objective is to continue to be effective in each match and improve," said coach Luis Enrique.
"I undoubtedly saw at the Parc des Princes this evening one of the most beautiful PSG performances (since the start of the season)."
Lee's left-foot shot into the top corner on 10 minutes opened the tally and sparked joy after Kylian Mbappe set him up with a clever dummy.
"He is very likeable for any supporter," Luis Enrique said of South Korean international Lee.
