PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain shrugged off the early loss of talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Saturday to record their first Ligue 1 victory of the campaign by 2-0 against Bastia in a game overshadowed by an alleged headbutt.

The Sweden striker, last season's Ligue 1 Player of the Year, was forced off with a side injury after 15 minutes but Laurent Blanc's team still managed to control the game.
