Edinson Cavani hit a hat-trick on his return to the Paris Saint-Germain team as the Ligue 1 champions marched on with a 4-0 demolition of Thierry Henry's injury-hit Monaco.
Cavani missed PSG's last two Ligue 1 wins due to a thigh injury and he was on the bench for a midweek Champions League draw against his old club Napoli.
But the striker was back in the PSG side at Stade Louis II on Sunday, scoring a trio of close-range finishes as Thomas Tuchel's men extended their perfect league record to 13 wins.
Neymar added a fourth from the penalty spot and PSG's lead atop the table already stands at 13 points while Monaco are in the mire, with Henry's side only off the bottom on goal difference.
Neymar's cross-shot was turned in at the back post by Cavani for the opener and the Uruguay striker was soon enjoying more delayed celebrations thanks to the video replay system.
Cavani grabbed his hat-trick in the 53rd minute, tapping in a Diaby cross to take his tally to eight Ligue 1 goals this season after Adrien Rabiot's throughball had split the Monaco defence.
Mbappe saw a late fifth ruled out for offside after yet another VAR review but the scoreline already reflected PSG's total dominance in a complete mismatch.
What does it mean? Henry powerless amid growing injury crisis
Henry lost both Nacer Chadli and his replacement Jordi Mboula to injury, adding to an already long list of absentees. Senior players including Kamil Glik, Danijel Subasic and Stevan Jovetic were already sidelined, leaving Henry to rely on inexperienced players - far from ideal in what is now a relegation battle. It is hard to imagine more difficult circumstances for his first job.
VAR proves worth with offside calls
The officials had a difficult time with a series of marginal offside decisions in the first half, with VAR helping to clear matters up. Cavani twice saw goals wrongly ruled out on the field and the system was also used to disallow efforts from Draxler and Mbappe. VAR may not be perfect, but it got everything right.
Sidibe struggles amid PSG onslaught
Monaco's injury problems are so widespread it was quite literally men against boys by the end, but Henry would have expected better from Sidibe, one of his key players. The World Cup winner was regularly caught out of position and capped a miserable individual performance by conceding a penalty by bundling Mbappe over.
What's next?
Toulouse will try to stop the PSG juggernaut after the international break, while Henry's search for a first Monaco win takes him to Caen.
