Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has taken his place front and centre in the headlines in France once more on Saturday evening.
For those not aware, PSG are currently locked in action.
After securing a timely return to winning ways away to Nice last time out, the capital giants have welcomed high-flying Lens to the Parc des Princes, for a top-of-the-table clash in Ligue 1.
And, as things stand, Christophe Galtier’s troops are well on their way to extending the club’s already healthy advantage at the division’s summit.
This comes owing to a rampant first-half display, which, on the back of Salis Abdul Samed’s early dismissal, saw PSG rattle off a trio of goals without reply.
First on target was Kylian Mbappe, who, in the process of slotting home a fine finish on the turn, surpassed Edinson Cavani to take sole ownership of the title of PSG’s top Ligue 1 goalscorer of all time:

Picked out by attacking partner in crime Lionel Messi, Mbappe returned the favour in sliding the Argentine through for a pinpoint finish into the far bottom corner:

Lens, to their credit, have since pulled one back, but PSG remain in firm control of proceedings in Paris nonetheless.
