Paris Saint-commanding Germain's 3-0 victory against Ajaccio on Friday helped them increase their advantage atop the Ligue 1 standings to six points.
Both of Kylian Mbappe's goals were assisted by Lionel Messi, and the Frenchman also served as the assist for the Argentine's goal as Christoph Galtier's team improved to 7-0 in their previous 8 league games.
PSG seized the lead in the 24th minute despite not being at their best offensively in the first half.
Mbappe intercepted a Messi pass and scored his ninth league goal of the season in his first opportunity of the game.
Following Marco Verratti's through ball, the Frenchman squandered another opportunity before halftime, giving PSG a slim lead going into the break.
Play restarted with PSG continuing to attack, but Juan Bernat and Mbappe were unable to extend their lead.
The French powerhouses didn't put an end to the match until the 78th minute, when Bernat found Mbappe in the middle.
Messi deftly maneuvered around the goalie before putting the ball into the goal after the Frenchman's stunning back heel hit his feet.
Four minutes later, Messi changed roles, finding Mbappe before the striker turned and buried the ball into the bottom corner to end any chance of an Ajaccio comeback.
As a result, PSG currently has a six-point lead over Lorient, who play Troyes on Sunday.
