    Let's leave it there. Thank you for joining us on a night when we've learned this: Paris St-Germain are very strong bets to retain their league title, but Juventus have got a huge task on to retain theirs. Fin.

    Monaco 0-3 Paris St-Germain

    All three PSG goals tonight were sublime in their own way. Edinson Cavani's first came at the end of a move containing 20 passes, his second was created by a perfectly weighted Zlatan Ibrahimovic through ball, and Ezequiel Lavezzi made it three from a terrific Angel Di Maria pass over the top. It's a statement of the obvious to say it, but this is a PSG side brimming with quality.

    Monaco 0-3 Paris St-Germain

    As for PSG, this was a consummate away performance. They had plenty of first-half possession without carrying too much threat, but bided their time and eventually made their superiority tell. By the end, they could have won more comfortably.

    Monaco 0-3 Paris St-Germain

    It's not been much of a week for Monaco, knocked out of the Champions League at the play-off stage by Valencia in midweek, and well beaten tonight. 

    Leonardo Jardim's side are seven points off the title pace already - they have a job to pull themselves together again after this.

    Four wins out of four for PSG. No goals conceded. Three points clear at the top of the table. In other words, they are the Manchester City of France.

    Monaco 0-3 Paris St-Germain

    Angel Di Maria has got a nice understanding going with Edinson Cavani here. The winger's chip over the top seeks out the Uruguayan striker, who is on a hat-trick, but the ball zips through to Monaco's keeper. That's just about it.

    Three more minutes. PSG are probing for a fourth goal.

    Monaco 0-3 Paris St-Germain

    Monaco are resigned to their fate now. Edinson Cavani's opener knocked the stuffing out of them, and they have never looked like recovering. We're in the last minute of the 90.

    Monaco 0-3 Paris St-Germain

    Angel Di Maria wants a goal himself before the night's out, cutting in from the right before hitting a rather tame left-foot shot. It's going outside the near post, but keeper Danijel Subasic gets down to gather anyway.

    Ezequiel Lavezzi (82 mins)

    Simply gorgeous. Gorgeously simple. Paris St-Germain get a third, and Angel Di Maria has his first assist. The former Manchester United winger delivers a beautiful pass over the top of Monaco's defence, and Ezequiel Lavezzi - the man who replaced Zlatan Ibrahimovic moments ago - races through and belts a shot into the net with a force reminiscent of Hot Shot Hamish from the old Roy Of The Rovers comics.

    Monaco 0-2 Paris St-Germain

    PSG look as if they could cut loose and score a few now. Serge Aurier, the marauding right-back, bursts forward into the penalty area, but goes for a Hollywood finish and skies his shot horribly. Ten minutes left.

    Monaco 0-2 Paris St-Germain

    And Zlatan, having provided his assist, is leaving us. The striker, who has made his return from a pre-season knee injury tonight, makes way for Ezequiel Lavezzi after getting a useful 75 minutes under his belt. No real fireworks from Zlatan this evening; he can save those for another day.

    Edinson Cavani (73 mins)

    Very professional this from Paris St-Germain. They've worn down Monaco's resistance, been patient, waited for their chances and killed off the game.

    It's Zlatan Ibrahimovic who plays the key pass, and Edinson Cavani who makes up for his earlier miss by slotting his second of the game past the exposed Danijel Subasic.

    Monaco 0-1 Paris St-Germain

    Angel Di Maria is looking sharp and eager. Manchester United fans will point out that this was how he started life at Old Trafford too - but still, it's a bright start for the £44.3m buy.

    Monaco 0-1 Paris St-Germain

    Angel Di Maria, your chance has come. With 25 minutes left, the Argentina winger replaces Lucas Moura for his PSG debut. Within seconds, he delivers a terrific ball in from the right towards the unmarked Edinson Cavani, whose diving header is straight at Danijel Subasic. It should have been 2-0.

    Monaco have made a change too. Stephan El Shaarawy is off and Guido Carrillo on in attack.

    The goal has rocked Monaco, who almost lose another straight away. Blaise Matuidi finds space on the edge of the box amid some muddled defending, and drives in a shot that keeper Danijel Subasic holds.

    Edinson Cavani (57 mins)

    It's a bit odd, really, that PSG have taken the lead just after Monaco's best spell of the game. Edinson Cavani, who had been pretty ordinary for 57 minutes, darts to the near post to meet Blaise Matuidi's cross with a thumping header. It's a deserved lead, on the overall balance of play, but it's a bit of a kick in the guts for Monaco, who were starting to get a foothold in the game.
