PSG cruise past Nantes to edge closer to Ligue 1 crown

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain strolled to a 3-0 win over lowly Nantes on Wednesday to move four points clear of Lens in Ligue 1.

Kvaratskhelia struck the opener from the penalty spot on 13 minutes and Desire Doue doubled the advantage for the hosts while plunging Nantes closer to relegation.

Georgia international Khvicha Kvaratskhelia struck again early in the second half as PSG shrugged off Sunday's home defeat by Lyon, which had briefly threatened to open the door for Lens in the title race.

PSG visit Angers this weekend ahead of next Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at home to Bayern Munich.

Luis Enrique's side are on course to be crowned French champions for the 12th time in 14 years but must still go to Lens on May 13 in a fixture pushed back due to PSG's European commitments.
