The great Paris Saint-Germain penalty soap opera took another twist on Saturday after the Ligue 1 pacesetters were awarded their first spot-kick since the infamous bust-up between Edinson Cavani and Neymar earlier this month.

For anyone not keeping pace, the world’s most expensive player and the former Napoli striker were involved in an embarrassing on-field feud over penalty-taking responsibilities during a routine win over Lyon.

Their actions were condemned by manager Unai Emery but the pair’s efforts to downplay the suggestion of a major fallout were undermined by stories of Neymar demanding Cavani be sold and PSG offering the Uruguay international a bonus to give up taking penalties.

No PSG penalty drama this time!

All eyes were therefore on the Parc des Princes on Saturday when Bordeaux’s Otavio was adjudged to have hand-balled as he jumped to chest the ball out of the box.

With the home side already 3-1 to the good Cavani could, perhaps, afford to be in a charitable mood an allowed Neymar the chance to step forward and score his second goal of another one-sided encounter.

Moments later Julian Draxler scored a fifth to underline the fact that it really shouldn’t matter who is on penalty duties for PSG this season so utterly dominant are they at present.
