Fans at Parc des Princes were treated to one of the games of the season as Paris Saint-Germain powered to a thrilling 5-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Champions League holders were forced to come back from behind on two occasions, but they ultimately delivered a crushing victory - mainly thanks to the brilliance of Vitinha.
The 25-year-old produced one of his best ever individual performances in a PSG shirt, scoring an unforgettable hat-trick in front of the home fans.
His first strike came just 10 minutes after Richarlison’s opener, and it was undoubtedly one of the goals of the season, firing the ball into the top right corner with a thunderous shot from outside the box.
Kolo Muani put Spurs back in front early in the second half, though all their hard work was undone by a deadly 12-minute PSG spell, which saw the hosts bag three quickfire goals through Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and William Pacho.
Muani managed to cut the deficit with his second strike of the game, though PSG wrapped up the three points in the 76th minute, with Vitinha converting a late penalty and completing his hat-trick.
SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

PSG underlined their position as one of the favourites to defend their Champions League crown thanks to Wednesday’s thrilling victory.
For the third time in five games in this competition, the French champions scored four or more goals, taking their overall goal tally to 19.
Nobody has rattled the net more times than PSG during this league phase, with the Parisians looking like a force to be reckoned with once again.
From Tottenham’s perspective, there were a number of positives and negatives the Premier League side could take from Parc des Princes.
Scoring three goals away against the current Champions League holders is undoubtedly a massive plus - one which will give Spurs a lot of confidence in their attacking abilities.
On the other hand, conceding five goals from PSG’s six shots on target will be seen as a huge concern.
Frank’s men have now conceded nine goals in two games since returning from the international break - an issue they must fix if they are to challenge for any silverware this season.
