Terem Moffi upstaged Kylian Mbappé with two goals and an assist to help Nice win 3-2 at Paris Saint-Germain in the French league on Friday, handing the defending champion its first defeat under new coach Luis Enrique.
A worrying one, too, for home fans despite Mbappe also scoring twice, with PSG's opening game of the Champions League on Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund.
This was a costly defeat for PSG, which is one point behind second-place Nice and two behind leader Monaco, which plays at Lorient on Sunday. Moffi put Nice ahead when he profited from a scramble in the penalty area to clip a slightly deflected shot inside the near post past goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 21st minute. Mbappé equalized eight minutes later when he whipped in a quick shot from 20 meters past former PSG 'keeper Marcin Bułka.
Controlling a pass in midfield with his back to goal, he flicked the ball astutely to Laborde down the right and collected his return pass before advancing across the area to plant a low shot past Donnarumma into the bottom left corner.
