Flying fullback Achraf Hakimi grabbed a hat-trick as Paris Saint-Germain went on a rampage to thrash bottom-placed Le Havre ۵-۱ and extend their Ligue ۱ lead on Friday.
The European champions, who have several regulars out injured, could afford to leave more of their key players on the bench and still come away with an impressive victory as they moved to ۲۰ points from their opening nine league fixtures.
