Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery hailed the importance of Sunday's win after leaders Monaco and rivals Nice also emerged victorious in the battle for Ligue 1 supremacy.
Defending champions PSG stayed within touching distance of Monaco with a 4-0 rout of Guingamp at Parc des Princes in the French capital.
Speaking afterwards, Emery told reporters: "At the break, we discussed to improve things, to exploit the spaces left by the opponent and to be more present next to goal.
"The first goal was the key. It made us gain confidence. In the second half, the team did the right thing.
"After the victories of Monaco and Nice, it was important to win."
"It's always good for a striker to score, but the important thing is to win together and grow as a team," Cavani told Canal+.
"There are six more games left, one can win the championship, one continues to play and win.
"Monaco is another team, I'm talking about mine. We work hard. There are six matches left, that's a lot. One remains humble, with the title the objective."
