PSG defeat Marseille to win Trophée des Champions

Paris Saint-Germain won the Trophée des Champions last night defeating rivals Olympique Marseille 2-1, in an enthralling encounter at the Stade Bolleart Delelis, in Lens.

The victory last night was the first piece of silverware for Mauricio Pochettino, since his takeover at PSG earlier this month.

The Parisiens got off to the better start and took the lead when Argentine Mauro Icardi punished a mistake from experienced goalkeeper Steve Manadanda to give PSG the lead, and put them on their way to victory.

PSG controlled the game from that point, and Brazilian superstar Neymar added the second from the penalty spot, on his return from injury to put the game beyond doubt for PSG.
