Paris: Midfield star Vitinha scored a hat-trick as Paris Saint-Germain came from behind on the way to beating Tottenham Hotspur 5-3 in an action-packed Champions League clash on Wednesday.

The Portuguese playmaker cancelled out Richarlison's opener in stunning fashion just before half-time at the Parc des Princes, and then repeated the trick early in the second half after Randal Kolo Muani had got Spurs' second.

The on-loan Kolo Muani had been hoping to come back and haunt his parent club -- he later scored again, but that was after the reigning European champions had punished poor Tottenham defending to net twice more themselves.

Fabian Ruiz got PSG's third and Willian Pacho their fourth, with Vitinha eventually sealing the victory from the spot as the French giants made it four wins out of five in this season's Champions League.

PSG, who had Lucas Hernandez sent off at the death, are closing in on a place in the knockout phase and are well positioned to finish the league phase in the top eight, meaning direct progress to the last 16.
