PSG’s Mbappe sets league goals record in win v Lens

Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi scored a goal each as French league leader Paris Saint-Germain profited from a red card to beat second-place Lens 3-1 and move nine points clear of its rival.

It was an extra special goal for Mbappe. Earlier this season he became PSG's all-time leading scorer when he beat Edinson Cavani's 200-goal mark. Mbappe's strike on Saturday against Lens made the 24-year-old France striker the outright all-time top scorer for PSG in the league with 139 goals. Cavani netted 138.
