Clubs, French Ligue 1, Lille, Paris Saint-Germain, Story

Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian forward Neymar made his comeback from injury as they enjoyed a 2-0 home win over Lille on Friday to move a provisional 11 points clear at the top of Ligue 1.

First-half goals from Mauro Icardi and Angel Di Maria put the hosts ahead and Lille never seriously threatened a comeback.

Neymar had not featured for the champions since Oct. 5 due to a hamstring problem but returned to the starting lineup to help his side ease to victory at the Parc des Princes.

PSG moved to 33 points ahead of second-placed Marseille, who visit second-bottom Toulouse on Sunday, while Lille are seventh on 19.
