Dijon 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain have moved four points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after beating Dijon 2-1 on Sunday.

In an eventful opening period of football, Florin Berenguer came close for the home side, before Javier Pastore passed up an opportunity for PSG after four minutes.

The away side quickly gained control of the match, and Pastore again came close after 12 minutes before Jeremy Menez fired over the bar after 24 minutes.

Dijon were not without their chances, however, with Brice Jovial and Bennard Yao Kumordzi coming close before the break.

PSG were reduced to ten men five minutes before the break when Mohamed Sissoko fouled Florin Berenguer-Bohrer, and was shown a red card.

The away side took the lead five minutes into the second period when Siaka Tiene found the bottom corner after smart work from Guillaume Hoarau.

PSG continued to dominate the match in the latter stages, and came close via Pastore after 68 minutes as Dijon struggled to gain a foothold in the match.

Dijon did find an unlikely equaliser, however, after 76 minutes when Steven Paulle headed a Benjamin Corgnet cross into the top corner.

The scoring was not finished, however, as PSG secured all three points in the final minute when Kevin Gameiro finished with ease.
