Ligue 1 Recap: PSG extend lead and equal longstanding unbeten record


Zlatan Ibrahimovic's brace sealed a 13th-straight win
for PSG, extending their lead at the top and equalling a
longstanding Ligue 1 record

Paris-Saint Germain's 13th-straight victory, a 2-0 win at Saint-
Etienne on Sunday, extended their huge lead at the top of Ligue
1 and equalled a 21-year-old record for the competition's
longest unbeaten run.

Laurent Blanc's side have not lost for 32 league fixtures, a
sequence stretching back to last season and matching a record
set by Nantes between July 1994 and April 1995.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic struck twice for PSG, a pair of neat volleyed
finishes, to score his 13th and 14th goals against Saint-Etienne
since arriving in French football in 2012.

PSG's lead at the top of Ligue 1 now rises to 24 points after
Angers beat Monaco 3-0 on Saturday to jump into second spot.

Caen strengthened their chances of playing European football
next season with a 2-0 home win to draw level on points
with fourth-place Nice. Ronny Rodelin put Caen in front and an
Andy Delort penalty sealed the result.

Bordeaux ran out 4-0 winners over Rennes to boost their own
Champions League qualification hopes, with Mali international
Cheick Diabate hitting a first-half brace.
