Edinson Cavani scored his sixth league goal of the season and teammate Lucas netted his fourth as Paris Saint-Germain returned to the top of the French league with a 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Dijon on Tuesday. Cavani, who hit four against Caen in the space of 45 minutes, doubled PSG's lead from the penalty spot in the 26th minute after Hungarian defender Adam Lang scored an own goal when he deflected a cross from Maxwell. The Uruguay striker is now the league's joint top scorer with six goals, the same as Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette.
