Kylian Mbappe's 89th-minute goal gives Paris Saint-Germain a 3-2 win over Brest, maintaining their position at the top of the league.
Nice had beaten Clermont 1-0 to take the provisional league lead on Friday but Monaco can snatch back top spot with a victory at Lille later Sunday.
Mbappe was shown a yellow card for taunting Brest supporters while celebrating his goal. There was no love lost between them as the supporters replied with insulting chants. Mbappe doubled the lead after a counterattack in the 28th. South Korea winger Lee Kang-in fed Mbappe, who cut inside to score with his signature move, shooting through the legs of centerback Brendan Chardonnet to beat Bizot.But Brest rallied by exposing PSG’s weakness in the air. The hosts capitalized on lackluster PSG defending to pull one back in the 43rd as Kenny Lala had plenty of time to make a cross for Benin striker Steve Mounie, who beat Danilo to the ball for a downward header.
PSG had a narrow escape as Brest was the better team in the second half and could have taken the lead. Le Douaron missed a chance in the 67th as he met a cross from Mounie only to scuff his shot wide.
