Lille, France: Paris Saint-Germain came through their biggest test of the season so far on Sunday, winning 3-1 away to fellow Champions League contenders Lille to maintain their perfect record in Ligue 1 since Kylian Mbappe's departure.

Vitinha put them ahead on a stiflingly hot night in northern France with a penalty after Ousmane Dembele was brought down in the area.

Bradley Barcola, the in-form France international winger, doubled their lead soon after, as Lille found the going tough four days after holding off Slavia Prague in a play-off tie to qualify for the league phase of the Champions League.

The excellent Edon Zhegrova pulled one back for Lille in the second half, and they were only denied a late equaliser when a tight offside call ruled out a Tiago Santos goal.

PSG then secured the points in stoppage time as Randal Kolo Muani headed in a cross by recent signing Desire Doue.
