PARIS: Neymar scored two goals and set up two more as Paris St Germain extended their Ligue 1 lead to nine points with a 4-1 away demolition of Stade Rennais on Saturday. Neymar struck both sides of the interval and assisted Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani to score, putting PSG on 47 points from 18 games after second-placed Monaco hammered St Etienne 4-0 on Friday at Geoffroy Guichard. Brazil forward Neymar quickly found the back of the net at Roazhon Park as he tapped in from Mbappe’s cross after only four minutes. Eight minutes into the second half, Rennes reduced the arrears when Mubele finished it off after Morgan Amalfitano’s strike had struck the post. Neymar rounded it off one minute later by latching on to Mbappe’s cross.
