PARIS – Zlatan Ibrahimovic (pictured) set up one goal and notched two more to break yet another scoring record as Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain crushed 10-man Nice 3-0.

Edinson Cavani got the opener for PSG at the Allianz Riviera before Nice had Niklas Hult sent off for conceding a penalty that Ibrahimovic scored just before halftime.

That was his 86th Ligue 1 goal, allowing him to pass Mustapha Dahleb and go out on his own as PSG’s all-time top scorer in the top flight of French football.

For good measure, the Swede scored again in the second half to secure the victory that puts Laurent Blanc’s defending champions provisionally 16 points clear of second-placed Caen at the top of the table.

“We knew that record was going to fall. It was just a case of when, because he scores an enormous amount of goals and will continue to do so,” Paris coach Laurent Blanc told beIN Sports.

PSG are still unbeaten in Ligue 1 this season after 17 games and have not lost domestically since March, with only Barcelona and Real Madrid getting the better of them in the Champions League in that time.

Second-placed Caen host Lille on Saturday after Lyon entertain Angers in what will be their final Ligue 1 game at the Stade de Gerland before they move into a new stadium in January.
