MonacoMonaco1PSGParis Saint Germain4
Kylian Mbappe scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain beat Monaco 4-1 in a rescheduled game to move eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1.
The two sides had drawn 3-3 at the Parc des Princes just three days ago but PSG dominated this encounter.
Mbappe turned in Angel di Maria's excellent ball to open the scoring before Neymar converted a penalty.
Pablo Sarabia made it 3-0 and, while Tiemoue Bakayoko got one back for Monaco, Mbappe struck again.
The 21-year-old French striker, who played for Monaco from 2015 until 2018, has now scored 13 goals in 14 games, one fewer than Ligue 1 top scorer Wissam Ben Yedder of Monaco.

All ruined by having only 1 (comparatively) super-rich team...even Scotland at least has 2 of those and is more competitive.
He's the Brazillain Raheem Sterling :)
Mbappe is much better than him ...
Sorry EPL but no player ever turns down Real Madrid should they come a calling!
When the Arabs bought PSG could they have believed that they were buying into such a worthless project?
A squad full of mercenaries with their ear permanently to the phone.
Is there a more loathsome club in Europe?
Mbappe will be the best in the world, can't stand Neymar but on his day he's damned good, Icardi is such a talent that they're letting Cavani go !!!
Re Pub League comments on here, how come more and more French players are in the Prem & Championship every transfer window - not Scottish but French !
