Villefranche 0 Paris Saint-Germain 3 (aet): Draxler sparks extra-time win over minnows

Paris Saint-Germain needed extra-time to see off third-tier minnows Villefranche in the last-16 of the Coupe de France as Julian Draxler and Edinson Cavani inspired a 3-0 win.

Thomas Tuchel, who watched the conclusion from the stands after being sent off, selected a strong line-up for the tie, which was moved to Lyon's Groupama Stadium.

But the former Borussia Dortmund boss merely witnessed further struggles on his return to the scene of PSG's 2-1 weekend loss in Ligue 1.

Kylian Mbappe and Cavani were pressed into action from the bench and the Uruguay star set up Draxler in the 102nd minute.
