Sochaux 1 Paris Saint-Germain 4: Di Maria hits treble in easy Coupe de France win

Coupe de France holders Paris Saint-Germain recorded a 21st straight win in the tournament with a routine 4-1 defeat of Sochaux.

Angel Di Maria scored his first hat-trick for Paris Saint-Germain as the Coupe de France holders cruised into the quarter-finals with a 4-1 win at Sochaux on Tuesday.

Neymar was rested by Unai Emery after his birthday celebrations at the weekend but PSG did not miss the Brazilian as they remained on track to win the tournament for the fourth year in a row.

Di Maria starred in Neymar's absence, opening the scoring in the first minute by nodding in Kylian Mbappe's cross, and the Argentina international added two more in the second half.
