PSG shrug off Angers to edge closer to Ligue 1 title
LYON: Paris Saint-Germain took another stride toward the Ligue 1 crown on Saturday, beating Angers 3-0 to open up a six-point advantage over Lens at the top of the table. Lee Kang-in and Senny Mayulu struck first-half goals in Angers, with Lucas Beraldo bagging a third shortly after half-time to keep PSG on course for a 12th French title in 14 years. It was a largely ideal afternoon for PSG ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League semifinal first leg at home to Bayern Munich, although they face an anxious wait over the fitness of defender Achraf Hakimi after he appeared to be struggling physically and came off at half-time. Coach Luis Enrique rested his attacking trio of Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue — all of whom started Wednesday’s 3-0 win over Nantes. PSG though finished with 10 men as Goncalo Ramos saw red after receiving a second yellow card. “We got the job done well,” said Luis Enrique.
