Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 Ajaccio as it happened - Mbappe scores twice, Messi booed on return, Hakimi sent off

PSG restore their six-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table and now a victory on Sunday, May 21, against Auxerre would almost secure the league title.

Ajaccio, however, have been relegated following this heavy loss.

Zaire-Emery spurns a great chance to make it 6-0, slicing the shot wide with the outside of his boot from point-blank range.

Soumano almost gives the travelling supporters something to cheer as his curling effort drifts just wide!

Two more changes for the hosts - Soler coming on for Ekitike and Zaire-Emery replaces Bernat.

Barreto is off, Chabrolle is on.

After reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor, the referee now shows a red card to Mangani for his part in the melee.

It has been a mild affair but then out of nowhere, a melee! Messi is being targeted and it's chaos as players from both teams get involved.

Hakimi is then shown his marching orders for his reaction.

Marquinhos is trying to deliver a cross but it takes a wild deflection and the goalkeeper can only stand and watch as the ball nestles in the far corner.

It will go down as a Youssouf own goal.

Terrific understanding by Messi and Mbappe as the former tees up Vitinha for a shot and his curled effort is pushed around the post by Sollacaro.

Diallo has been clutching his leg and it's no surprise that he makes way for Alphonse, while Pereira is replaced by Bitshiabu.

Ajaccio carve up a decent opportunity as a cross is pulled back to Barretto but he leans back and balloons his shot over the bar.

You can see why they have found it difficult to find the net this season with finishing like this.

Vitinha and Sanches replace Ruiz - scorer of the opening goal - and Verratti.

Doesn't look happy, does he?!

Soumando, Nouri and Chegra are on with Spadanuda, Coutaduer and El Idrissy making way.

Messi embarks on a trademark run, dancing past about three defenders before pulling off a ridiculous back-heeled pass. The moment of genius is appreciated by most of the home support.

Oh, what a strike! Ramos' long ball out of defence is headed into the air, dropping kindly for Mbappe who volleys first-time into the back of the net.

Another sublime goal from Mbappe who is now on a hat-trick.

Ramos makes a last-ditch intervention to break up a rare Ajaccio attack. From the resulting corner, Mangani volleys wide.

If they feel like six or seven you'd fancy their chances.

There is chaos inside the Ajaccio penalty area as the visitors desperately try to scramble a cross clear. They're unsuccessful in their efforts and the ball inevitably drops to Mbappe who sticks away his 24th league goal of the season.
