Neymar Goal, Assist Push PSG to Dominant 2-0 Win over Troyes

Neymar scored the first and made the second as Paris Saint-Germain earned a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Troyes in Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.

The hosts were a long way from their sparkling best and were arguably fortunate to be level at the break after a first half in which Edinson Cavani had a penalty saved and Troyes had a goal ruled out for the narrowest of offsides.

PSG were little better after the break, but the talismanic Neymar settled the match 17 minutes from time as he found the corner of the net from 20 yards.
