Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended his goal drought as Paris Saint-Germain extended their unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 season with a 3-0 victory at home to Guingamp.
Javier Pastore gave PSG a first-half lead at the Parc des Princes before Angel Di Maria netted his first goal in domestic French football to double the advantage. Ibrahimovic, who hadn't scored since claiming a brace in a 6-0 win over Guingamp last May, added a third late on but also had a penalty saved as the reigning champions provisionally moved four points clear at the top of the table.
"In the first half we had some chances without dominating a very compact Guingamp. In the second half it was obviously better," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said afterwards. "As for Ibrahimovic, just like the rest of the team, he was full of intent and was much better with the ball in the second half. I found his movement much better than it was against Reims. He's still lacking that little something, but once he finds it he'll score more goals."

Earlier, Angers and Reims drew 0-0, leaving both sides still with just one defeat through their first seven matches. Rennes and Saint-Etienne can both trim PSG's lead back to a single point when they visit Gazelec Ajaccio and Troyes respectively on Wednesday, while Lyon host Bastia and Marseille travel to Toulouse.
