Bradley Barcola lit up the Parc des Princes with a stunning brace as Paris Saint-Germain cruised to a 2-0 win over Lens, keeping their perfect Ligue 1 start intact and equalling a club record of scoring in 35 straight home league games.

Luis Enrique, absent from the dugout after a bicycle accident, watched his side strike with ruthless precision.

Barcola opened the scoring with a curling effort from the edge of the box before doubling the lead after the break with another clinical finish.

Injury woes marred PSG’s night. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia limped off in the first half, while Lucas Beraldo was stretchered off late on, adding to absences for Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. Still, the champions’ firepower proved too much.

Lens carved chances through Florian Thauvin, but Lucas Chevalier stood firm in goal, denying him twice.

PSG, though, were never truly threatened and secured a seventh straight win over their northern rivals.

It was a night of brilliance and bruises, Barcola the hero, but PSG counting the cost with their squad stretched thin.
