 Paris St Germain dominated the Ligue 1 standings, securing a comfortable 3-0 triumph over Montpellier at home and claiming the provisional top spot. The victory was fueled by exceptional performances from Lee Kang-in, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Vitinha, who each contributed crucial goals during the game on Friday.

PSG swiftly seized the lead within the first ten minutes, as Lee skillfully drove the ball into the top corner, capitalizing on a precise low cross from Achraf Hakimi, cleverly set up by Kylian Mbappe's dummy play.

Despite Montpellier's attempts to level the score, PSG's dynamic 17-year-old talent, Zaire-Emery, thundered the ball into the net in the 58th minute, assisted by Ousmane Dembele's impressive back-heel move.

PSG continued to dominate the game, and eight minutes later, Hakimi's effective cross set up substitute Vitinha, who expertly slammed the ball into the corner, further solidifying PSG's lead.

Although PSG appeared to have extended their advantage in added time, their effort was ultimately disallowed due to an offside call.

As a result of this convincing victory, PSG claimed the top spot in the Ligue 1 standings, accumulating 24 points, with a two-point lead over Nice, who is set to face Stade Rennes on Sunday. Meanwhile, Montpellier currently holds the 11th position in the league, securing 11 points.
