Psg Vs Dijon 8-0 All Goals And Extended Highlights 18-Jan-2018

Neymar was jeered by Paris St-Germain fans after he denied Edinson Cavani the chance to become the club's all-time top scorer during the Ligue 1 side's rout of mid-table Dijon. Cavani's first-half strike saw him draw level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic with 156 goals in all competitions for PSG. The hosts led by 4-0 at half-time and Neymar had already completed a hat-trick before PSG were awarded a penalty. However, the Brazilian's decision to take the spot-kick instead of allowing Cavani to take it resulted in whistles from the home crowd, but coach Unai Emery defended him after the match. «I think Neymar took the penalty because it was also a good day for him,» Emery said. «We're happy with it. But there will be lots more chances for Cavani to score more goals.» PSG defender Thomas Meunier described it as «a bit of a shame and a bit ungrateful» but acknowledged that Neymar was his side's penalty taker. «He could have given him the ball, it would have been a nice gesture of fair play,» he said. «He did so much for the team today and the fact that the fans are whistling at him, well he didn't take it very well. I think most players would have had the same reaction.» PSG lead the table by 11 points from nearest rivals Lyon after 21 games - who they play on Sunday. The leaders have won their past eight league and cup games, scoring 31 goals and conceding six. Dijon, who are 11th in the table, are without a win in their past four games.
