Angel Di Maria set up a goal on his debut as Paris St-Germain maintained their 100% start to the Ligue 1 season with a deserved win at Monaco.

The former Manchester United winger, on for the last 25 minutes, teed up Ezequiel Lavezzi to score after Edinson Cavani had struck twice.

Cavani powered in a first-half header to round off a 20-pass move.

The Uruguay striker slotted in a second after being played through by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, returning from injury.

Ibrahimovic had not played in PSG's previous three league games after suffering a knee injury in pre-season.

Laurent Blanc's side, winners of the last three league titles, are three points clear at the top of the table, having won four matches without conceding a goal.

Di Maria shines

Angel Di Maria

Angel Di Maria suffered a hamstring injury during the Copa America in July

Argentina international Di Maria was named as a substitute at the Stade Louis II, having recovered from the hamstring problem that delayed his debut following a £44.3m move from Manchester United.

By the time he came on, PSG were leading 1-0 - and he almost claimed an assist within a minute of his entrance, delivering a cross from the right than an unmarked Cavani somehow headed wide.

It was a bright cameo from the winger, who looked happy to be making a fresh start after a troubled time in Manchester.

His through pass for Lavezzi to make it 3-0 was perfectly judged, and he was confident enough to be chasing a goal for himself by the end, although his one effort late in the game was weak.
