Angel Di Maria grabbed two goals while Kylian Mbappe struck on his return from injury as Paris Saint-Germain won 4-1 at Nice to surge five points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
PSG lost Neymar and the influential Idrissa Gueye to injury over the international break while Mbappe and Edinson Cavani were only fit enough to make the bench for the trip to the Cote d'Azur.
"At the start of a run of six very intensive matches, it's always good to start with a win," said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
"We had a good first half, I was happy. We had chances to control the match but at the start of the second half, we forgot to close it out."
