The Brazil striker fired home with a superb free kick after Yuri Berchiche had opened the scoring on the stroke of halftime, with Giovani Lo Celso sealing a straightforward victory in the closing stages. The win put PSG on 62 points from 24 games with second-placed Olympique de Marseille, who hammered Metz 6-3 away on Friday, on 51. PSG went ahead in the 45th minute when Berchiche netted with a low shot after the Lille defence had failed to clear Edinson Cavani's cross. Neymar, who was doubtful after taking a knock earlier this week, doubled the tally with a 17-metre free kick into the top corner. Lo Celso then scored his first Ligue 1 goal with a fine lob over Mike Maignan in the 87th.
