Five-star PSG rout Montpellier

Neymar scored twice for Paris Saint-Germain in the champions' 5-2 win over Montpellier at the Parc des Princes.

Falaye Sacko's own-goal put PSG ahead shortly after Kylian Mbappé saw his spot kick saved by Jonas Omlin. In-form star Neymar added two more for the Parisians (43' & 51') before Wahbi Khazri pulled one back for the visitors seven-minutes later.

Mbappé got himself on the scoresheet (69') before debutant Renato Sanches opened his PSG account two-minutes from time. Enzo Tchato fired in a late goal for Montpellier in injury time.

"We scored five goals and we could have scored more," PSG coach Christophe Galtier admitted after seeing his side maintain their 100 percent start to the season.

"It's a good sign for what's ahead. The two goals we conceded were not good but our goalkeeper and the defenders had a good game. Obviously there are grumbles on the defensive side when we concede goals. That was due to slackness coming from a lapse in physicality, but overall we're happy with this win to have scored five goals."

Lees-Melou stunner denies Marseille

A rocket from Pierre Lees-Melou earned Brest a point at home to Marseille.

Nuno Tavares scored his second goal in successive games to fire OM in front (38'). But Marseille could do nothing about Lees-Melou's 25-yard screamer on the hour to earn Brest a well-deserved point.

"It was a difficult match against a very good team," said Marseille coach Igor Tudor after seeing his side drop points for the first time this season.

"The problem is that we thought the game was over and in Ligue 1, which is a good Championship, all matches are difficult, especially away from home. The result is a fair one. We'll take the point and move on.

Ten-man Monaco salvage point

Monaco ended a difficult week with a 1-1 draw against Rennes at the Stade Louis II.

Monaco were dumped out of the Champions League by PSV Eindhoven in midweek and matters took a turn for the worse when Youssouf Fofana was sent-off (15').

Gaëtan Laborde fired Rennes in front (59') but Breel Embolo took advantage of a mistake from Rennes 'keeper Dogan Alemdar to earn the hosts an important point.

A superb second-half goal from debutant Ismaily helped LOSC snatch a 1-1 draw at Nantes.

Nantes took the lead through Moses Simon's close-range finish (28') but were later undone by a moment of magic. A scintillating run and finish by Brazilian full-back Ismaily (76') gave LOSC a share of the spoils as both sides remained unbeaten after two games.

Kevin Gameiro's smart finish earned Strasbourg a point against Nice at the Allianz Riviera.

Andy Delort fired Lucien Favre's men in front from the penalty spot (35') but the hosts were unable to hold on to their lead and Gameiro (56') levelled up to hand Strasbourg their first point of the campaign.

Clinical Toulouse down Troyes

Toulouse continued their solid start to life in Ligue 1 Uber Eats as they comfortably beat Troyes 3-0 at the Stade de l'Aube.

Yasser Larouci's own-goal gifted the visitors the perfect start (36') before Rafael Ratao added a second after the break (54'). Last season's Ligue 2 BKT top scorer Rhys Healey made sure of maximum points five-minutes from time to hand Philippe Montanier's side the victory.

Kamory Doumbia's penalty (23') and a second goal in as many games from loan signing Folarin Balogun (30') fired Oscar Garcia's men in front at the break.

Emmanuel Agbadou's red card for Reims sparked the fightback and Komenen Andric took full advantage with his brace (51' & 62') before Muhammed-Cham Saracevic fired the visitors in front ten-minutes later.

Substitute Jérémie Bela rounded off the scoring for Clermont (77') who responded in perfect fashion to their opening day drubbing by PSG.

The Ligue 1 Uber Eats new-boys raced into an early two-goal lead courtesy of Julian Jeanvier (4') and an own-goal from Cedric Hountondji (10'). But Angers - helped by the sending off of Auxerre's Lassine Sinayoko - hit back through Lois Dony (22') before Salama levelled the score 13-minutes from time.
