Paris St-Germain 4-0 Rennes

Edinson cavani scored his 15th goal of the season for PSG before going off

Paris St-Germain lost Edinson Cavani to injury as they moved three points behind leaders Nice by thumping Rennes.

The striker seemed to strain a thigh in the process of lobbing in his team's second goal shortly before half-time.

Cavani had played a part in PSG's first goal, heading against the bar before Gelson Fernandes turned the ball into his own net.

Adrien Rabiot's powerful swerving shot made it 3-0, and Marco Verratti then volleyed in Hatem Ben Arfa's cross.

Unai Emery's side reduced the gap between themselves and Nice, who fell to a surprise 1-0 defeat at Caen earlier on Sunday.
