Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored four goals including a hat trick in the space of 19 first half-minutes in Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 win over Anderlecht in Brussels, being involved in one of the quickest triples in the competition's history.

According to France24.com, Ibrahimovic now has nine goals from his last four games in all competitions, while club record summer buy Cavani has eight since joining from Napoli, and their quality was too much for Belgian champions Anderlecht, who remain without a point in the section and are staring at an early exit.

In contrast, the French club is now beginning to look like genuine contenders to win the tournament for the first time, although they will face far stiffer tests than this in the months ahead, the report said.

 

Visiting coach Laurent Blanc named his strongest possible side, with the only notable absentee being captain Thiago Silva, who is still not fit again after a thigh problem, the report added.
