[VIDEO] Cavani Breaks Ibrahimovic’s Goalscoring Record As PSG Bash Montpellier 4-0

Edinson Cavani is Paris Saint-Germain’s new all-time leading scorer after netting against Montpellier.

The effort was the Uruguay hitman’s 157th in all competitions for the Parisian side, taking him clear of the previous mark, which was set by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

After good work from Neymar and Adrien Rabiot in the build up, Cavani slotted home his 27th goal of the campaign, achieved in his 31st appearance.

In celebrating the goal, Cavani took his shirt off and ran into the crowd, who refused to give him it back. Once he was finally able to restart, referee Frank Schneider shook his hand before presenting him with a memento of a yellow card.

The 30-year-old’s goals have been amassed in only four-and-a-half seasons in the French capital, during which time he has often been forced to play out wide in an unfavoured position on the wing.

Nevertheless, that has not prevented ‘El Matador’ from being a potent scoring threat since arriving from Napoli in the summer of 2013 for a fee of €60 million.

Cavani has managed at least 25 goals in all compeitions since moving to France, including a stunning 49 in 50 starts last term – the first he had the opportunity to lead the line in regularly.

The match ended four nil in favour of PSG with goals from Cavani, Di Maria and a brace from Neymar.
