From the sectionDraxler's goal was his first of the seasonParis St-Germain warmed up for their Champions League match at Liverpool by cruising past Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1. PSG were without suspended striker Kylian Mbappe and rested forward Neymar but went ahead through Julian Draxler's header in the 23rd minute. Like in PSG's previous two games, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was left on the bench with 25-year-old Frenchman Alphonse Areola preferred in goal. The win maintains the French champions' 100% start to the season and keeps them top of Ligue 1. They have scored at least three goals in all of their five league games this season, netting 17 in total.
