PARIS (AP) — Lionel Messi’s vision was too much for Toulouse as he set up goals for Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in French league leader Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-0 win at Toulouse. Four touches were enough for PSG to open up Toulouse’s defense for the first goal in the 37th minute, with Messi applying the final pass to give Neymar his league-leading seventh goal in just five games. Messi then set up Kylian Mbappé’s fifth goal of the season. PSG remains top on goal difference from second-place Marseille and third-place Lens. They both won to join PSG on 13 points. In earlier games Monaco slipped to a humiliating 4-2 home defeat against Troyes.
