In-form PSG ace Cavani equals 46-year-old goalscoring record against Nancy

The striker continued his rich vein of form in front of goal with an important strike against the Ligue 1 strugglers on Saturday

Edinson Cavani equalled a 46-year-old goalscoring record as he kept PSG in the Ligue 1 title race with an important strike against Nancy on Saturday.

Unai Emery's men looked as though they were about to drop crucial points in the race for the French top-flight crown before Serge Aurier won his side a penalty in the dying embers of the affair.

Cavani stepped up to convert the spot-kick and ensure PSG are still in the hunt for the league title alongside free-scoring Monaco and Nice.
