VIDEO: Cavani equals Ibrahimovic record with 156th strike for PSG

Edinson Cavani has equalled Zlatan Ibrahimovic's record of 156 goals for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions.

The Uruguay international headed in an Angel Di Maria cross during the first half of PSG's Ligue 1 tie against Dijon on Wednesday evening, giving Unai Emery's side a 3-0 lead following an early Di Maria double. Neymar added a fourth as the French league leaders went in at the break with a 4-0 margin.

It moved Cavani further into the lead in the goalscoring rankings in the French top flight, taking him to the 20-goal mark — four more than his closest rival for the accolade, Monaco's Radamel Falcao.
