Paris Saint-Germain 2 Bordeaux 0: Edinson Cavani’s brace ensures Unai Emery’s side got back to winning ways in Ligue 1

EDINSON CAVANI has hit the ground running this season and his goals at the Parc des Princes against Bordeaux were enough to get Paris Saint-Germain back to winning ways.
Unai Emery's side lost their last Ligue 1 game Toulouse last Friday, so it was crucial the French Champions got back to winning ways.
Cavani got the hosts off to a magnificent start after scoring the opener after just three minutes, when the Uruguayan international powerfully headed home Angel di Maria's cross.
Bordeaux were lacklustre in possession and struggled to threaten Alphonse Areola's goal.
But Cavani's second goal on the half-hour mark was the stand-out moment in the match as his piece of skill saw him elegantly flick the ball into the bottom corner, leaving the Bordeaux keeper Cedric Carrasso with no chance.
