Brazil forward Neymar became Paris Saint-Germain’s fourth top-scorer of all time as the French champions held on for a narrow win at home to Brest.

The 30-year-old claimed his 110th goal to move in front of ex-Portugal striker Pauleta on PSG’s list of scorers.

Paris Saint-Germain were unable to add to their lead and then Brest won a penalty on 70 minutes but Gianluigi Donnarumma saved Islam Slimani’s tame spot-kick.

Victory sent unbeaten Paris Saint-Germain back above Lens at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Lens led Ligue 1 after winning 1-0 at home to Troyes on Friday, but Marseille will go level on points with Paris Saint-Germain if they beat visitors Lille later on Saturday.

Lionel Messi chipped the ball forward for Neymar to score his eighth goal from seven Ligue 1 game this season.

The Brazil forward took a touch with his right foot before firing in with his left.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is next on PSG’s all-time scorers list with 156, while Neymar’s team-mate Kylian Mbappe is second with 180.

Christophe Herelle was shown a red card for bringing down Neymar but the decision was overturned as a review showed the Paris Saint-Germain forward was offside before the tackle.
