PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain went a provisional seven points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after Edinson Cavani's first-half double and a Dante own goal after the break secured a 3-0 home win over Nice in an entertaining clash on Friday.

The result left PSG in the driving seat with 29 points from 11 games, though second-placed champions AS Monaco can reduce the gap when they visit Girondins Bordeaux on Saturday.
