Zlatan Ibrahimovic willed Paris Saint-Germain to a 4-1 home win over Reims, as their march to a fourth-straight Ligue 1 crown steamrolled a slight bump in the road.
Sweden star Ibrahimovic hogged the headlines after Tuesday's 2-1 Champions league win over Chelsea at the Parc des Princes, talking up a future move to the Premier League when his contract expires in June, and the striker had a hand in all four goals as PSG won despite a rocky defensive display.
Gregory van der Wiel latched onto Ibrahimovic's inch-perfect throughball to put PSG ahead, but Reims fought back and equalised through Prince Oniangue's header – which owed a lot to Kevin Trapp abandoning his duties in the home goal.
Reims kept a nervy Trapp busy, but Ibrahimovic grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck, first bundling home his side's second before releasing Edinson Cavani to stretch the advantage before half-time.
Trapp again looked shaky as De Preville tested him from distance and PSG's woes deepened when Angel Di Maria was forced off with an apparent injury.
But Ibrahimovic forced a turn in the tide, blustering his way into the area to finish at the second time of asking and then cutely dabbing Layvin Kurzawa's pass into Cavani, whose first-time finish had Laurent Blanc's men enjoying a comfortable cushion at the break.
Blaise Matuidi's half-time introduction helped stem Reims' ventures in midfield and, once PSG awoke from something of a second-half slumber, Ibrahimovic volleyed Van der Wiel's cross past Johann Carrasso – although the offside flag ought to have been raised.
