Hakimi Scores Three as PSG Beat Le Havre 5-1

0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

Achraf Hakimi scored a hat-trick as PSG secured a stunning 5-1 away win over Le Havre in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

The result marked PSG's sixth league victory of the season and extended their dominant start to the campaign.

PSG, the current European champions, have now moved two points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

Hakimi's three goals were the key factor in the match, underlining his growing importance to the team's attacking play this season.

A hat-trick scored away from home is often seen as a particularly impressive feat, given the additional challenges teams face when playing outside their own stadium.

With this win, PSG have reinforced their position as the team to beat in French football, having claimed the European title previously.

The two-point gap at the top of the table suggests the title race remains competitive, even as PSG continue to post strong results.

Analysts note that maintaining consistency throughout a long league campaign is often more difficult than winning individual matches, making PSG's six wins notable.

The club will now look to build on this result as they aim to secure both domestic and European success again this season.

No further details on the match, such as goal scorers beyond Hakimi or specific minutes, have been confirmed in the available report.
