    First-half goals from Edinson Cavani and Blaise Matuidi mean Paris St-Germain have won six Ligue 1 matches on the bounce. Another three victories and the trophy will be returning to the Parc des Princes for the third successive season. And Laurent Blanc's men can even afford a draw and still pip Lyon.

    The PSG players fistpump and hug each other in celebration as referee Ruddy Buquet toots his final whistle. The Parisians reclaim their three-point advantage over nearest rivals Lyon at the top of Ligue 1.

    Credit to the Nantes fans. A sea of yellow-shirted supporters have not stopped bouncing in the home stand, providing plenty of vocal support for the side. But the players, frankly, haven't given them much to cheer. And they are nearly groaning as Edinson Cavani has a glimpse of goal, only to fail to hit the target

    Here is the fourth offficial, who is armed with a big electronic board. A number four flashes up, telling us that there will be a minimum of four minutes stoppage time.

    Another goal for PSG would end any lingering Nantes hopes of setting up a grandstand finish. Edinson Cavani, moments after being flagged offside when clean through, tees up Adrien Rabiot. But the brilliantly-named Nantes defender Papy Djilobodji races across to cut the ball and concedes a corner.

    PSG boss Laurent Blanc makes a late change as Javier Pastore is withdrawn for Ezequiel Lavezzi, who was left out tonight despite scoring a hat-trick against Lille last weekend. Not a bad substitute to have up your sleeve.

    Andrew Priestley: This is a very big win for PSG tonight, they're under some serious pressure to win the title after their European failings.

    Well it took a while but Napoli finally made their numerical advantage count. Milan were reduced to 10 min with just 50 seconds on the clock and held out until the 70th minute.

    But Rafa Benitez's men turned the screw to earn a comfortable win and move within four points of third-placed Lazio with four matches left. The race for the Champions League is on!

    Two minutes of stoppage time in Naples. And the home side almost net a fourth. Belgium international Dries Mertens is allowed a criminal amount of space on the edge of the Milan box, picking his spot with a curler. But Milan keeper Diego Lopez throws himself across to save.

    Free-kick in a dangerous position close to the right touchline for Nantes. The big lads from the back saunter forward, packing the PSG penalty area. Oh dear! They get nowhere near the ball as a poor delivery from Remi Gomis is met by the forehead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the near post.

    Half a chance for Nantes. A high ball is pumped into the PSG six-yard box from the left flank, with two yellow shirts bearing down on away keeper Nicolas Douchez as he leaps to gather. The Frenchman stays strong to claim at the second attempt.

    As you can tell by the diminishing frequency of entries from France, there is not much happening in Nantes at the moment. PSG have eased off the gas a touch, but the as-it-stands leaders do not look like being troubled by a toothless Nantes side.

    Milan have collapsed quicker than a pack of cards. Napoli's Manolo Gabbiadini - no relation to ex-Sunderland and Derby hero Marco - back heels into the away net. There was an element of fluke to that goal - no wonder Gabbiadini barely celebrates.

    Breakthrough for Napoli! The home side's numerical advantage finally tells - and it has been coming. Napoli skipper Marek Hamsik is the man who does the damage, pouncing on a loose clearance to expertly guide a first-time shot from 20 yards into the bottom right corner. Beautiful finish from the Slovakian.
