Paris St-Germain are unbeaten in Ligue 1 since 15 March

Paris St-Germain are 15 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after an emphatic victory over bottom club Troyes at an emotional Parc des Princes.

There was a minute's silence while fans and players sang La Marseillaise - the French national anthem - before PSG's first home game since 130 people were killed in the Paris attacks.

PSG scored through Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's penalty, Layvin Kurzawa and Jean-Kevin Augustin.

Thomas Ayasse got Troyes' consolation.

The win took PSG 16 points clear at the top of the table but their lead was cut to 15 points later in the day when newly-promoted Angers defeated Lille 2-0 to go second.

PSG visit Angers on Tuesday.

Laurent Blanc's side are well placed to claim a fourth successive league title after nearest rivals Lyon slipped to a 4-2 home defeat against Montpellier on Friday.

A ninth successive Ligue 1 win leaves PSG with 41 points from a possible 45, while Troyes remain bottom of the table, without a win in 15 league games and nine points from safety.

PSG had warned fans to expect "exceptional security measures" before the game in the wake of the 13 November attacks.

Away fans are banned from top-flight matches in France until mid-December.

PSG said it was "imperative" home fans attending Saturday's game brought at least one form of identification "in order to make it through the security checks on the way into the ground".

What they said

Paris St-Germain boss Laurent Blanc: "There are still points on offer between now and the halfway point of the season and we want to get as many as possible.

"We played a number of young players tonight because we have a lot of matches every three days at the moment. We have a quality squad, so you need to use it at times like this."

Paris St-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "Before the match was very emotional and we did what we could to pay homage to the victims. It's never easy to then go and play a football match, but we are footballers and have to do what we do best: play football."
