Zlatan Ibrahimovic won two Dutch league titles with Ajax
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored against his former club Ajax as Paris St-Germain secured a fourth straight Champions League win to stay top of Group F.
Edinson Cavani opened the scoring for the hosts before Davy Klaassen levelled with a powerful header midway through the second half.
But Sweden striker Ibrahimovic made it 2-1 with a cool finish before Cavani added another after a poor backpass.

There were also wins for Sporting Lisbon and Porto, while CSKA Moscow held Roma in Russia.
