Bradley Barcola has scored three goals in his last two games for Paris St-Germain

Bradley Barcola scored twice as Paris St-Germain maintained their 100% Ligue 1 record with a comfortable victory over Lens.

The result takes PSG back to the top of the table with Lille two points back in second and Lyon, who travel to Rennes on Sunday evening (19:45 BST), a point further behind on nine.

Barcola put PSG ahead early in the first half with a curling finish from 20 yards and doubled their lead six minutes after the break with a long-range effort after cutting in from the left.

However, injuries to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Lee Kang-in and Lucas Beraldo will all be a concern to manager Luis Enrique.

His side open their Champions League title defence against Atalanta on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes (20:00 BST).
