Cavani on historic Ligue 1 scoring run for PSG

If there were questions over Edinson Cavani's ability to lead the line for PSG after the club failed to win Ligue 1 last season, they can all be tossed aside now.

Sure, the Uruguay has benefited from the club adding two more stars in the form of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, but it's Cavani who is on a record scoring pace in Ligue 1.

The 30-year-old has scored 17 times in 15 matchdays, the best record of scoring since Josip Skoblar hit the same mark during the 1970/71 season with Marseille.

Cavani could have reached 17 early in the match from the penalty spot.
