Kylian Mbappe bagged a first-half brace as Paris Saint-Germain ran out 4-1 winners over Lyon in Ligue 1 – with all four of their goals coming in the first half.
Mbappe bookended PSG’s goals with an early penalty and a smart finish when through one-on-one, with Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio scoring in between. PSG have two wins and two draws from their opening four games.
Paris Saint-Germain seem to be putting all the right building blocks in place as they eased to a second Ligue 1 win of the season at Lyon, running out 4-1 winners at the Groupama Stadium amid angry scenes from the home support, who loudly booed their side off at half-time.
Kylian Mbappe notched a second brace in as many games to further rubberstamp his return as the golden boy of French football, while Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio also got on the scoresheet as the champions threatened to run riot.
After collecting just one point in their first three games and having their assets frozen this week, it’s fair to say that Lyon haven’t had the best start to the season and they were dealt another blow inside five minutes, when a sloppy pass from Anthony Lopes, the returning goalkeeper, had Corentin Tolisso caught in a Paris swarm.
