Decisive figure leads Paris Saint-Germain past Metz | OneFootball

Gonçalo Ramos smashed home in the 77th minute to cap a dominant display as Paris Saint-Germain beat Metz 3-0. His strike followed a first half assist that set the tone in Paris.

Before the break, he reacted quickest from a corner, lifting a rebound across goal for Bradley Barcola to nod in during the third minute of first half stoppage time.

After the restart he kept finding central pockets and pressing from the front, drawing defenders to create space for runners and forcing Metz to retreat.

Then he sealed it, rolling his marker and thumping into the roof of the net (77.) after Lucas Hernández's tackle opened the chance.

He finished with three attempts, two key passes and 12 touches in the box. Six recoveries and five possessions won high up underlined how his movement and work rate pinned Metz back and kept the home side on the front foot.

Paris Saint-Germain rise from second to first in Ligue 1 and host Monaco in the Champions League next. Metz host Brest next in the league.
