PARIS, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- Ligue 1 runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain registered their record-extending 10th straight victory after taming Amiens 5-0, while former France great Thierry Henry suffered a miserable debut as Monaco's head coach with a 2-1 loss at Strasbourg.
PSG had already set a new record in the French top-flight league of nine victories in a row to commence the season after crushing Lyon 5-0 before the international break.
Despite the absence of several key players as Neymar, Thomas Meunier and Thiago Silva in terms of Champions League clash with Napoli ahead, they still controlled the match throughout, and five different players made contributions to the team's scoring sheet.
Center half Marquinhos headed home on Angel Di Maria's corner in the 12th minute. That was copied by Adrien Rabiot, who directed Di Maria's another high-quality corner into the net three minutes before the interval.
As Amiens failed to pose concrete threat until the final 10 minutes, PSG added three more goals in a span of seven minutes.
German winger Julian Draxler was left unmarked to nod home in the 80th minute, and that was followed by Kylian Mbappe's ninth league goal of the season two minutes later. Substitute Moussa Diaby capped PSG's scoring extravaganza with a low shot in the 87th minute.
PSG sit atop the table with an eight-point advantage over Lille, who beat Dijon 2-1.
The 41-year-old Henry, who started playing career at Monaco, failed to steer the team out of trouble in his first match in charge.
Monaco's third choice goalkeeper Seydou Sy also experienced a disappointing night, easily conceding a header from Adrien Thomasson in the 17th minute.
Monaco's skipper Radamel Falcao walked off injured in the first half, and more miserably for the team, they were reduced to 10 men after Samuel Grandsir was sent off midway through the second half.
As Monaco pressed forward for an equalizer, Strasbourg fully took advantage of that as striker Lebo Mothiba raced clear and chipped the ball over Sy with six minutes remaining.
Monaco got a little consolation when Youri Tielemans converted a penalty into stoppage time.
Winless since the opening round, Monaco find themselves second from the bottom and ahead of Guingamp just on goal difference. Guingamp recorded a goalless draw with Caen.
Also on Saturday, Emiliano Sala scored a hat-trick to gift Nantes a 4-0 thrash of Toulouse. Reims and Angers bagged one point each following a 1-1 tie.
