A suspension and a calf issue hindered Neymar"s start to the campaign, but he was in fine form with a goal in either half as Thomas Tuchel"s men ran riot at the Parc des Princes. 

Alessandro Florenzi opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a beautiful first goal for the club before the brace from PSG"s Brazil star moved them out of sight early in the second half. 

Ismael Traore got Angers on the board but strikes from Julian DraxlerIdrissa Gueye and Kylian Mbappe ensured there was no tense finale as the champions recorded their fourth straight win. 

Neymar grabbed his first goal of the Ligue 1 season in the 36th minute

after Mbappe darted between Sada Thioub and Abdoulaye Bamba and teed up his forward partner to slam in off the underside of the crossbar. 

Neymar then grabbed his second in the 47th minute of the game which happened to be the third goal for PSG at the time. The Brazilian forward slotted home Florenzi"s deflected cross. 

That was not all as Neymar would still go onto set up one goal for substitute Gueye in the 71st minute to mark for PSG’s fifth goal at the time. In summary, it was an easy stroll in the park for the French champions. 

Neymar and Mbappe looked a cut above against Angers, with their link-up play proving a particular highlight. Mbappe has now set up five more Ligue 1 goals for Neymar than any other PSG player. 

PSG, who lost their opening two games of the season, jumped to second in the table with 12 points from six matches, one behind leaders Rennes.
