Paris Saint Germain overcame old foes Marseille 2-1 to win the Coupe de France.

The game was marred by scuffles involving both sets of fans before the kick-off with more than 30 supporters arrested.

PSG got off to a dream start when Bonaventure Kalou fired them in front after just six minutes with a clinical finish.

The capital outfit doubled their lead four minutes after half time when Vikash Dhorasoo drilled a long-range shot past Fabien Barthez.

Marseille pulled a goal back on 67 minutes through Toifilou Maoulida with a good finish inside the box.

Jean Fernandez's side pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but PSG held on to lift the cup.

The success was PSG's seventh cup victory and secures them a place in Europe next season.
