Ibrahimovic scored two penalties just minutes before the break, taking his goal tally for the club to an impressive 110. This puts him one goal ahead of former Portugal striker Pedro Miguel Pauleta, who held the previous record.

Marseille had been first to score during the match, but the visitors missed the chance to equalise following Ibrahimovic's double, when Abdelaziz Barrada’s penalty was saved by Kevin Trapp.

PSG extend their advantage over second-place Angers to five points. Midfielder Blaise Matuidi said his side deserved to win.

"We knew Marseille would come here and give us a difficult match. They had nothing to lose but we scored the two penalities which changed things around. We played well and it was a good performance."

A minute's silence was observed prior to kick-off for the victims of Saturday's heavy flooding on the French Riviera that claimed 17 lives. Four people remain missing.
