Flying fullback Achraf Hakimi grabbed a hat-trick as Paris St Germain (PSG) went on the rampage to thrash bottom-placed Le Havre 5-1 and extend their Ligue 1 lead on Friday.

The European champions, who have several regulars out injured, could afford to leave more of their key players on the bench and still come away with an impressive victory as they moved to 20 points from their opening nine league fixtures.

They are two ahead of Lille and four above third-placed Rennes, who have 16 points. Lille moved above Rennes into second after a late goal from veteran Olivier Giroud, who came off the bench to score an 86th minute winner at home for a 1-0 derby victory over RC Lens.

Rennes were handed a 5-2 drubbing at Nice, who continued their improving form with a fourth win in five outings.

Elye Wahi netted a hat-trick for Nice, who moved up to seventh after last season narrowly avoiding relegation.

On top of his three goals at Stade Oceane, Hakimi had two assists for the goals scored by Mika Godts and Senny Mayulu after Josh Maja had given the hosts the lead.
