Once again, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic absent, the Uruguayan stepped up to the mark to inspire PSG to victory.
The former Napoli hitman has been rumoured to be heading towards the exit door of the Parc des Princes this summer, but has scored three times in his last two games to once again demonstrate his class.
Reportedly unhappy with playing second fiddle to Zlatan, Cavani has reportedly been eyed by Manchester United.
With the Swedish superstar absent, however, the Uruguayan came into his own, particularly during one exceptional moment.
The forward eluded a defender with one delightful demi-Cruyff turn, before playing a one-two with Javier Pastore and firing past Anthony Mfa Mezui.
Cavani has now scored six times in his last six matches, with four of the goals coming in matches when Ibrahimovic was absent.
