Ibrahimovic PSG�s saviour

AFP, PARIS: Not for the first time, Paris Saint-Germain were grateful to Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the Swede’s second-half goal secured a 1-0 win away to Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
It was far from a vintage performance from the champions and relegation-threatened Toulouse were unlucky not to take anything from the game on the day their refurbished stadium was officially inaugurated before a crowd of more than 30,000.
Ibrahimovic converted from close range in the 73rd minute after David Luiz had helped on a Lucas corner to give PSG their ninth consecutive win in all competitions and allow them to extend their enormous lead at the top of the table to 23 points from Angers in second.
Laurent Blanc’s side are still undefeated in domestic competition this season and this result allowed them to extend their club record unbeaten run in the league to 30 matches going back to last March.
“Toulouse caused us problems on the counter in the first half. They undoubtedly worked on that. They were very, very defensive,” admitted Blanc.
“That’s their way of playing. We were in difficulty in the first half because we were not as dominant as usual.
