Paris St Germain close on Ligue 1 title with 3-1 win at Troyes

Paris St Germain moved a step closer to retaining the Ligue 1 title with a 3-1 win at second-bottom Troyes thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz on Sunday.

The win took PSG to 78 points from 34 games, six points clear of Lens and eight in front of Olympique de Marseille with four more rounds of games remaining this season.

Lens beat Marseille 2-1 to leapfrog them on Saturday.

PSG, without Lionel Messi who was suspended by the capital club for making an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia, need seven more points to guarantee a record 11th French title.
