Without Kylian Mbappé's goals but with the assists from Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain secured a victory (3-0) against Montpellier to temporarily claim the top spot in Ligue 1. 

Depending on Niza's result, who faces Stade Rennes on Sunday to regain the lead, Luis Enrique's team is on the verge of establishing themselves as the league leaders for the first time this season. 

Montpellier held on for just ten minutes. Kylian Mbappé provided an invisible assist by feinting and letting the ball through, leading to Kang In Lee's goal. 

In a smooth combination play ending with a backheel from Dembélé to Warren Zaire-Emery, the second goal came in the 58th minute. 

And the third, shortly after, was set up by Achraf's pass from the right to Vitinha inside the box, who slotted the ball low and close to the post to score in the 66th minute, sealing the victory.
