EDINSON CAVANI wrote himself into the record books today as PSG proved they had no hangover from their Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.

The Uruguayan scored twice to make it 86 goals scored at the Parc des Princes, the most by any player in the club's history.

Julain Draxler, Neymar and Angel Di Maria also netted in what turned out to be a rout for the Ligue 1 champions-in-waiting.

It ensured the 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid was put to the back of the mind - at least until the return clash in the Champions League last 16.

The Parc des Princes was stunned into silence with just six minutes on the clock as Strasbourg took the lead.

Jean Eudes Aholou sent Kenny Lala down the right flank and he cut a cross back to his team-mate, who finished sublimely into the bottom corner.

But just four minutes later and the Ligue 1 leaders were level.

Julian Draxler capitalised on a loose ball in the Strasbourg box following an attempted through pass from Neymar and he struck a left-footed effort low into the bottom corner beyond the reach of Alexandre Oukidja.

And it was the world's most expensive player who put PSG into the lead on 21 minutes.

Neymar collected Giovani Lo Celso's pinpoint cross to the back post and bundled his way past Dimitri Foulquier.

Oukidja did well to make the first save, but he could not hold the ball.

Neymar collected and held his composure to knock it into the air rather than shooting first time before slotting his effort into the net.

And just a minute later it was 3-1.

Pablo Martinez made a mistake immediately from the kick-off. He tried to play the ball out from the back and Angel Di Maria seized on his error.

The Argentine drove into the box before hammering his effort into the bottom corner.

While the Champions-elect were not their most fluid in the first 45, they were at their most lethal in the final third.

Di Maria should have put the game away from Strasbourg 15 minutes into the second period, but he skewed an easy chance wide.

And that was miss proved costly as the visitors got to within a goal with a fine strike from Stephane Bahoken.

But PSG were far from done.

Cavani scored his first of the game in the 73rd minute after a fine through-ball from sub Javier Pastore.

And then Neymar laid in his strike partner to score his second just six minutes later to wrap up the clinical victory that takes them 15 points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
