with Caen, beating Toulouse 3-1 on Saturday to
keep up their title chase.
PSG kept up the pressure on their Ligue 1 title
rivals after with a 3-1 home win against
Toulouse on Saturday.
Laurent Blanc's side sat third heading into the
weekend, level on points with Marseille and two
behind leaders Lyon, after dropping points
against Caen last time out.
Despite missing a host of key names, PSG
banished the demons of last weekend's 2-2 draw,
when they squandered a 2-0 lead, to claim a
vital three points.
Adrien Rabiot scored either side of half-time for
the hosts, both following good work from Javier
Pastore.
Alain Casanova started with top scorer Wissam
Ben Yedder on the bench, but the striker came
on before half-time and pulled one back three
minutes after Rabiot's second.
PSG responded in positive fashion, unlike the
previous week, and Thiago Silva added a third 16
minutes from time to send the champions top,
at least until their rivals are in action on
Sunday.
The build-up to this match had been dominated
by Blanc's shortage of options, with the manager
claiming to have only 13 outfield players to pick
from.
