PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, whose uncle was shot dead in Argentina earlier this week, opened the scoring as they beat lowly Valenciennes 3-0 to open an eight-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 on Friday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic got the second goal - his 19th in the league this term - after halftime before a Gary Kagelmacher own goal put the points out of reach for the visitors.
