Striker Edinson Cavani scored his 18th league goal of the season as Paris Saint-Germain trounced woeful Lorient 5-0 on Wednesday to take some pressure off coach Unai Emery heading into the winter break. Third-place PSG is three points behind Monaco, which beat Caen 2-1 at home, and five behind league leader Nice, which drew 0-0 away to Bordeaux. The spotlight was firmly on Emery after last weekend's 2-1 defeat away to Guingamp - PSG's fourth loss in the league so far - but Lorient's abysmal defending made it too easy.
