Mbappé nets two against former club as PSG wins at Monaco. MORE:
The sides drew 3-3 in Paris on Sunday night in arguably the season's most entertaining game, although this time PSG kept Monaco's attack quiet and exposed one of the worst defences in the league.
Mbappé made no mistake with his chance in the 24th, latching onto Angel Di Maria’s pass from the right flank, controlling the ball with one touch and then advancing at speed before drilling a low shot past Lecomte. His goal was validated after several minutes of video review, seemingly to ascertain whether Mbappé was offside when making his run. However, a clear foul on Monaco forward Keita Baldé leading up to the goal was overlooked by VAR.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel was shown a yellow card after angrily remonstrating with the fourth match official during the second half. Neymar played Mbappé through down the left in the first minute of injury time and he clipped the ball confidently across Lecomte for his 13th league goal — one behind the league's top scorer Ben Yedder.OTHER MATCHESForward Adrien Hunou pounced with an opportunist strike in the 64th minute as Rennes moved four points clear of fourth-place Nantes.
