Hakimi bags hattrick as PSG crush Le Havre

Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi delivered a remarkable performance, scoring a hat trick as the champions crushed relegation-threatened Le Havre 5-1 in Ligue 1 on Friday. The European champions, who currently lead the table by four points with 20 points after nine games, extended their lead even further. Le Havre's Josh Maja opened the scoring for the visitors in the 18th minute, but Le Havre quickly equalized through Belgian winger Mika Godts, who capitalized on a quick counterattack.

Hakimi responded with a low drive that found the back of the net, making it 2-1. The Parisian side dominated the match as they relentlessly pressed Le Havre. Hakimi added two more goals, scoring with a free-kick and a long-range finish, leaving the home goalkeeper struggling to keep up. Harris' hat-trick concluded the match when he threaded a shot through a crowd of players in the 69th minute.

Despite Hakimi's impressive performance, PSG coach Luis Enrique made strategic substitutions, benching Desire Doue, Vitinha, and Joao Neves. Ousmane Dembele and Georgian attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were also missing through injury.
