Paris

Ousmane Dembele came to Paris St Germain’s rescue as the Ligue 1 champions fought back to beat Brest 3-1 and resume their place at the top of the table.

The visitors took a shock 26th-minute lead through Romain Del Castillo’s penalty but Dembele headed them level before the break.

He then struck against seconds after Fabian Ruiz had put them in front

during a second-half blitz.

Brest gave as good as they got for long periods, but ultimately succumbed to the hosts’ greater

firepower at the Parc des Princes.
