PARIS, Sep 25: Forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos scored their first goals for Paris Saint-Germain in a 4-0 home rout of Marseille in the French league on Sunday but the victory was marred by an injury scare for star striker Kylian Mbappé.
Kolo Muani struck in the 37th when Hakimi’s shot came back off the post and was deflected somewhat fortuitously into his path by Marseille goalkeeper Pau Lopez.
Ramos, who came on for Mbappe, made it 3-0 two minutes into the second half when he headed in Ousmane Dembele’s cross. His second came in the 89th from Kolo Muani’s assist.
Mbappe limped off in the 32nd minute after taking a blow to the left ankle earlier in the game and trying to play on.
He was able to walk off the field at Parc des Princes and PSG coach Luis Enrique indicated Mbappe’s injury was not serious. Mbappe is the league’s top scorer with seven goals so far.
The win moved defending champion PSG up to third place with 11 points from six games, ahead of Monaco on goal difference. PSG is one point behind second-place Nice and two adrift of surprise leader Brest after six games. Marseille dropped to seventh after its first league defeat.
