Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery praised his team's improvement and hopes Wednesday's Ligue 1 win can kick-start the French champions' season.
PSG returned to form with a 5-0 rout of Lorient at the Parc des Princes as the defending champions ended their three-game winless streak in the league.
Speaking afterwards, Emery said: "It was important to take three points for the confidence of the team and the championship.
"The team had confidence, we improved things. We won and we will try to continue to improve. Outside, we have already lost four away matches [Monaco, Toulouse, Montpellier, Guingamp] and we will have to offer a more compact block.
"I saw a very involved group but we have already lost some important points and we will have to lose less for the continuation of the championship. But it was important that the players demonstrated involvement and motivation. We are third and we need to improve and reduce this distance.
"We played a lot of matches, we had tough times, good ones too, there were wounds, and the holidays will allow us to forget a little football to come back stronger and improve.
"It is normal that fans feel the need to express themselves [about whistles before the game]. It is up to us to work to find the right way and make them happy."
"I meant it. I took a look at the goalkeeper and I saw there was nobody in the middle," Meunier told Canal+. "This is my first goal in Ligue 1, it's special."
