Edinson Cavani hit twice as Paris Saint-Germain continued their progression to the Ligue 1 title with a 4-1 victory at home against Stade Rennais on Sunday.
In the absence of Neymar injured, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria also found the back of the net after Mbaye Niang canceled Cavani's opening scoring.
PSG leaders now have 56 points in 20 games. Lille, who is in second place, beat Olympique Marseille 2-1 on Friday and played two other games by 13 points.
Olympique Lyonnais, who has 40 points, consolidated third place when Jason Denayer earned them a 1-0 win over struggling Amiens earlier Sunday.
At the Parc des Princes, Rennes was a match against PSG for 45 minutes, but he cracked under the ruthless pressure of his team after the break.
Cavani came home in the seventh minute to give Thomas Tuchel's team a perfect start, but Niang could equalize in 28th place with a smart rear wheel.
Di Maria, however, restored the advantage of the hour by throwing the ball Tomas Koubek after having collected the long pbad of Thiago Silva.
Top scorer in Ligue 1, Mbappe, scored his 18th goal of the season six minutes later with a shot from inside.
Cavani raised the score to 4-1 in the 71st minute by hanging on to a Mbappe center.
Elsewhere, Toulouse and Angers, struggling, drew 0-0.
