Nene was in impressive form for PSG as his double helped side to win over Dijon

Two goals from Nene saw Paris St Germain past Dijon and open up a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1.

The Brazilian winger scored at the end of each half to secure Antoine Kombouare's men their fifth league win of the season at the Parc des Princes.PSG had to wait 36 minutes for their first real chance of the match, with Jeremy Menez hitting a snap-shot from 20 yards which was palmed away by visiting goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet.But they found themselves in front two minutes before the interval when Menez flicked a cross into the area for Nene, who shook off his marker before striking low beyond the reach of Reynet.PSG found the target again with a minute remaining to seal the win. Clement Chantome freed up Nene for a 20-yard strike which the Brazilian smashed home with his left foot.Julien Feret scored the only goal of the game as Rennes continued to put pressure on the Ligue 1 pace-setters at the expense of struggling Auxerre.The goal arrived 19 minutes from time as substitute Razak Boukari provided the assist, with Feret taking plenty of time before firing past Oliver Sorin with a fiery left-footed effort.Lille kept up the pressure on the top two in Ligue 1 with an impressive win over Lyon in Sunday's late game.Jimmy Briand fired Les Gones in front at Stade Metropole, but Moussa Sow drew the hosts level on the stroke of half-time.Second-half strikes from Marko Basa and substitute Joe Cole then settled the match to move Lille four points behind leaders Paris St Germain.
