No generosity from Neymar as he denies Cavani chance to become PSG's top scorer

Neymar risked reigniting his spot-kick spat with Edinson Cavani by denying the centre-forward the chance to become Paris Saint-Germain's all-time leading scorer on Wednesday.

Uruguay striker Cavani moved level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic on 156 goals by nodding in PSG's third from Angel Di Maria's cross in an 8-0 demolition of Dijon at the Parc des Princes.

Brazil superstar Neymar stole the show and had already scored three times to help the runaway Ligue 1 leaders take a 7-0 lead.

However, there was no room for sentiment from the former Barcelona star, who refused to let Cavani take a late penalty that would have seen him surpass Ibrahimovic's record.
