Nice (France) Sep 30 (IANS) Brazilian superstar forward Neymar Jr. was the big star for Paris Saint-Germain scoring a brace to lead his side to a 3-0 away win over Nice and its eighth victory in as many matches in the Ligue 1 season.
Neymar on Saturday opened the scoring 22 minutes into the game at Allianz Riviera on a remarkable right-footed shot from outside the box reports Efe.
French midfielder Christopher Nkunku then doubled PSG s lead just 42 seconds into the second half on a left-footed shot from inside the area finishing off a play that his superstar countryman Kylian Mbappe had set up with a remarkable run.
