Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Toulouse
Paris Saint-Germain extend their lead at the top of Ligue 1 over second-place Lens to four points, following a comfortable 3-1 victory over Toulouse in the French capital. PSG went ahead after 23 minutes thanks to Dembele’s thunderous volley, before Safonov’s dreadful mistake gifted an equaliser to the Toulouse captain Nicolaisen. However, Dembele swiftly restored the home side’s lead before half-time with a close-range tap-in. PSG weren’t as threatening in the second half but remained in control and sealed all three points just before the final whistle, when Ramos curled a delightful effort into the bottom corner just minutes after entering the action as a late substitute. The Parisians’ dominance is reflected by their 72% possession and 1.79 xG, which was generated from 17 shots. Meanwhile, Toulouse managed just 0.16 xG and one shot on target across the whole match. Next week, PSG host Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash on Wednesday. They’re not in any Ligue 1 action because their proposed match against Lens has been postponed at the request of the French champions to ease fixture congestion. Meanwhile, Toulouse play again on April 12th when they host Lille in Ligue 1. We hope you’ve enjoyed this live text commentary. Thank you for joining us!
