Paris St Germain bounced back from their Champions League exit against Manchester United with a convincing 4-0 win at struggling Dijon to tighten their grip on the Ligue 1 title.Brazil defender Marquinhos headed PSG into an early lead from a corner and Kylian Mbappe made it 2-0 just before half-time.Angel Di Maria curled in a free-kick five minutes after the restart, with substitute Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting adding a fourth during stoppage time.The victory saw PSG restore their 17-point lead over second-placed Lille with a match in hand as Thomas Tuchels side laid down a marker ahead of Le Classique clash against Marseille on Sunday.PSG had broken the deadlock following a corner in the seventh minute when Marquinhos flicked header at the near post dropped into the net.Mbappe had a chance to make it 2-0 in the 18th minute, but his effort was saved by Runar Alex Runarsson.The French World Cup winner, though, did put the ball in from close range in the 40th minute from a cross by Layvin Kurzawa after Di Maria had surged forward.Any hopes of an unlikely comeback by the relegation-threatened hosts were ended five minutes into the second half when Di Maria curled a 20-yard free-kick over the wall and in off the far post.Mbappe saw a late effort flash over before then hitting the post from close-range.Choupo-Moting, the former Stoke forward, added a fourth in stoppage time following another slick PSG passing move.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
