PSG wins 4-1 at Nantes to remain top of the French league

League leader Paris Saint-Germain came from behind to win 4-1 at Nantes and maintain its unbeaten start to the season on Saturday.

Yacine Bammou, who worked selling Zlatan Ibrahimovic shirts in the PSG shop little more than two years ago, opened the scoring for Nantes in the 11th minute and hit the post moments later.

PSG was a different side after the break and Ibrahimovic leveled three minutes into the second half with his 108th goal for the club. The Sweden international is one goal away from equaling Pauleta's record as PSG's top scorer.

Substitute Edinson Cavani headed PSG in front in the 73rd and Angel Di Maria, who had set up the previous two, got on the scoresheet himself with 10 minutes remaining. Serge Aurier scored in stoppage time.

PSG moved provisionally four points ahead of Saint-Etienne, which hosts Nice on Sunday. It is seven points ahead of fourth-placed Rennes, which welcomes Troyes in one of the later matches.

PSG coach Laurent Blanc rested several players ahead of Wednesday's trip to Shakhtar Donetsk and Cavani started on the bench along with Thiago Motta, Maxwell and Blaise Matuidi.

Nantes had lost its past three matches and hadn't beaten PSG since 2004 but took a surprise lead when Bammou headed in Valentin Rongier's cross from the right.

Bammou almost doubled his tally four minutes later but headed Alejandro Bedoya's cross off the base of the right upright.

It was the first time this season that PSG had been behind at halftime.

Ibrahimovic leveled almost immediately after the restart. Javier Pastore crossed for Angel Di Maria and his effort was blocked but Ibrahimovic followed up from close range.

Cavani came off the bench in the 65th and gave PSG the lead five minutes later as he was left unmarked to head home Di Maria's free kick.

Di Maria all but sealed the match seven minutes later as he ran onto Pastore's long ball, got goal side of the defenders and lifted the ball over onrushing goalkeeper Remy Riou.

Aurier vollyed in Pastore's corner for his first goal for PSG.
