PARIS: Neymar scored twice for Paris Saint-Germain in a crushing 6-1 win over Angers on Friday (Saturday in Manila) as the French champions continue to build up momentum following a poor start to the Ligue 1 season. Thomas Tuchel’s side move up to second in the early table, a point behind leaders Rennes who play Reims on Sunday. Mbappe then cut the ball back for Neymar to score in off the underside of the bar as PSG doubled their lead before half-time. Neymar was starting after avoiding punishment following allegations of racist and homophobic abuse in an ill-tempered defeat by Marseille last month. The goals were his first two of the new season after a start to the campaign disrupted by a positive Covid-19 test and suspension.
