PARIS (AP) — Lionel Messi’s second-half goal has helped a lackluster Paris Saint-Germain beat Toulouse 2-1 to move eight points clear at the top of the French league. The superstar struck with a typical curling strike in the 57th minute following a move with Morocco right back Achraf Hakimi. Hakimi drew PSG level late in the first half.
