Ibrahimovic grabs hat-trick as PSG thrash Valenciennes

(Reuters) – Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his devastating run of scoring form when he netted his maiden Ligue 1 hat-trick to inspire Paris St Germain to a clinical 4-0 win at Valenciennes yesterday.

Ibrahimovic, who has now netted 17 goals in 14 league appearances, helped second-placed Paris St Germain cut Olympique Lyon’s lead to two points before the seven-times French champions travel to basement side Nancy on Wednesday.
